Strong Lawlaw of Large Numberslarge numbers for weakly dependent random variables

Let Xi$X_i$ be a sequence of identically-distributed random variables with finite-range dependence (i.e. there exists I$I$ such that if |i-i'| ≥ I$|i-i'| \ge I$, then Xi$X_i$ and Xi'$X_{i'}$ are independent), and a finite moment-generating function (i.e. EerXi < ∞$E\exp(rX_i) < \infty$ for all r ∈ R$r \in \mathbb{R}$).

It's not too hard to show that Xi$X_i$ satisfies a strong law of large numbers, and I've got a proof written. However, I'm sure that this is a standard theorem in the probability literature, and I'd rather just cite it in the paper I'm writing. Do you have a good reference for this result?

Here are two follow-up generalizations: what if Xi$X_i$ instead has only a finite moment condition? Or what if Xi$X_i$ has exponential correlation decay (i.e. EXiXi' ≤ Ce-c|i-i'|$EX_iX_{i'}\le C\exp(-c|i-i'|)$ for some positive c$c$, C$C$)?
