Robinson (H. Robert) Moore lived with his mother, Carrie V. Moore during the 1920 federal census for Clinton, DeWitt Co., IL.
This census was in January. He was married and worked on the railroad. His wife was with another man elsewhere.
His mother's 1928 obit listed that he died 5 April 1920 but the state vitals list his death as 4 April 1920. I would very much like to have a copy of his obit. He was married to Minnie Miller in Clinton, 5 March 1903.
Carrie V. Blackmer Moore (born MA) was killed on the railroad tracks 4 Jan. 1928. I have the news articles and inquest article about her unfortunate death. Her grandson, Jacob Moore, son of Roinson Moore, traveled from Litchfield, Montgomery Co., IL to settle his mother's intestate account. She was a miser and lived in a mean mice infested hovel, but she had an uncashed insurance check, cash and miscellaneous wealth hidden in her room. She also owned 2 properties in Clinton that she purchased in 1922 and 3 properities in Litchfield, Montgomery Co., IL
I really need to know exactly what was in her intestate account. Newspapers are frequently inaccurate and didn't give details of whose insurance policy, etc.
I've checked the LDS catalog for film to rent to no avail.
I need a good kind person to check these two items for me.
I need to know about the "stepdaughter living in Council Bluffs" mentioned in her obit. This stepdaughter is more than likely Anna Moore Herman, who disappeared from the Clinton city directory after 1907 and who gave her daughter up for adoption to her brother-in-law, Jacob Herman, in 1902.
With the help of a fine researcher Margueritte Herman, the adopted child, was found, but her mother, Anna, is still an unknown.
Thank you for any help you can give me.
