==Article title==
Should we move this article to [[William L. Moyer]]? We don't really have a consensus on article titles re people. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 14:40, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

==Death date==
So, we have your journal and his headstone that indicate [[September 18]]. The City Clerk's history of mayors uses the [[September 21]] date.
Whaddya think? <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 1416:4425, 30 January 2009 (UTC):Hmm. I'd consider the headstone's date paramount. It's possible the city was simply ''without'' a mayor for those days. If Bear took over on the 21st, maybe they just assumed Moyer's term lasted until then. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 16:50, 30 January 2009 (UTC)::Agreed. Interesting to note that the Clerk's document specifically says "died 9/21/36", not just referring to his term. Without further evidence to the contrary, though, the headstone date prevails. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 17:49, 30 January 2009 (UTC) ==''Journal'' headline==Haha! I love the headline of the ''Pensacola Journal'' from September 19, 1936: "WILL MOYER NAMED MAYOR; DROPS DEAD"... <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 01:47, 11 February 2009 (UTC) ==Quotes==The ''Louisville Journal & Republican'' quote is, "I assure you gentlemen you have elected a good, strong Democrat." The ''Pensacola Journal'' quote is, "I assure you that you have elected a good, staunch Democrat as your mayor." Any preference? <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 01:58, 11 February 2009 (UTC):''Pensacola Journal'', definitely. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 06:03, 11 February 2009 (UTC) ==Birth year==Do you have any source on the 1866 year?
