Mary Rebecca was the daughter of Eli Asco and Rebecca Beaulah Smith Treadway. She was the first wife of Nathan Edward Moore, Sr. They married on Nov. 29, 1899 in Wilkes County, North Carolina. Their marriage produced five daughters (Cora, Bertha, Julia, Gertrude, and Fay) and four sons (Eli, Roy, Robert, and Woodrow).
Her son Robert, Sr (my paternal grandfather) was only ten years old when she passed, but he remembered the local doctor making a house call and being unable to measure her blood pressure because it was apparently so high it would not register. The doctor said that there was nothing he could do, and she passed away shortly thereafter. Her husband went on to remarry and have eight additional children.
