The source for the death of William J Moore is his headstone in the Acton cemetery, in Marion County, Indiana.
A clue for an earlier marriage of William Jefferson to a Mary Elizabeth Sampson was found on the William J Moore page of FindaGrave.com. Two wives are listed on that page - Malinda J and a first and brief marriage to a Mary Elizabeth Sampson, which includes the names of her parents.
This first marriage of William Jefferson and Mary Elizabeth was confirmed by the following source: "Indiana Marriages, 1780-1992," database, <i>FamilySearch</i> (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XF8X-161 : 3 December 2014), William J. Moore and Mary E. Sampson, Feb 1866; citing reference 296; FHL microfilm 499,370.
The information found on FindaGrave is the source for the birth and death dates of both wives of William Jefferson -Mary Elizabeth and Malinda J. - those dates being inscribed on their headstones in the Acton cemetery. Mary Elizabeth's headstone reads "died aged 18 years, 3 months, & 5 days, Daughter of R. and E. Sampson."
The year of birth for Malinda J is listed on her headstone as 1849, not Dec 1851 as per the above cited 1900 census. I have used the date on the headstone.
Note: The source of finding William and his bride was a clue in the 1909 obit
