Married to Andrew J. MOORE on September 27, 1865 in Gonzales County, Texas.~OBITUARY OF MRS. M. A. C. MOORE

Mrs. M. A. C. Moore died on Sunday afternoon, January 14, at her home in Dreyer. Mrs. M. A. C. Moore's age was 74 years. Mrs. Moore had been in bad health for some time and her death was due to paralysis. She was the widow of Mr. A. J. Moore, familiarly known as Mr. Andy Moore, one of Gonzales' oldest citizens who at one time lived in this city out on the old Tinsley homestead on East Avenue, just beyond the County Clerk Patterson's residence. The house, which was torn down some years ago, was one of Gonzales' oldest land marks, Gen. Sam Houston frequently stopping there on his visits to Gonzales.

Mrs. Moore was a daughter of a prosperous planter of the early days and was raised near Hochheim (Texas). Besides two brothers, Mr. John Boothe of Yoakum and Mr. Russell Boothe of Austin, she leaves nine grandchildren, the children of her son Mr. R.I. Moore, deceased. Mrs. Moore left a considerable estate valued at about $35,000, (with) her daughter-in-law, by the terms of the will being made sole executrix without bond, to have charge of the property until the youngest grandchild becomes of age.

In the passing of Mrs. Moore, Gonzales County loses another one of her old time residents.
