"Ellie" Moore Death Certificate

Here is a recent find, the death certificate of my great-grandfather Josh Moore's stepmother, Elizabeth "Ellie" Moore, from Bremen, Georgia, with date of death of 10 May, 1925. Cause of death was pneumonia. She was not a blood relation, but this is still a nicely informative bit of family history.

Ellie was the second wife of Rev. Thomas Moore. Per her memorial page at Find A Grave, she had been previously married to P.K. MacKenzie*, an immigrant from Scotland, and by him had one daughter, Priestly MacKenzie (1865-1935), who married local physician Dr. Marshall H. Stephens. Through her marriage to Reverend Moore she was the mother of William Claude Moore (1874-1946) and Leila Moore (1879-1898). William married a woman named Toka W., while Leila married Oscar Bullard. At this writing there seems to be no evidence that either of them had children of their own.

*Note and trivia: Kinney tradition holds that the family is a sept of Clan MacKenzie, but this has recently come under dispute. A copy of the Kinney family history that has been a major source of information for those reseraching the descendants of William Kinney from Scotland who traditionally fired the first shot at Guilford Courthouse during the Revolutionary War, is said to have been bound in a copy of the Clan MacKenzie tartan. It would be interestng to know what relation, if any, Mr. MacKenzie might have been to the ancestor of the woman who eventually married Ellie's stepson, Josh Moore.
