Phyllis,

I subscribe to the Images On Line from Ancestry.com, and I do not find a
Zachary Taylor Moore listed in the 1900 census for the Anna State Hospital.
The very lower portion of these sheets are unreadable however, and I could
of missed him, but I would say there is a 90% or beter chance that he was
not in the hospital at this time. The 1920 census is indexed for Union
county and he was not in this census either. Good luck.

Dean Hildreth
