His death certificate records James M. Moore, age 74 years 15 days, born 17 Feb (year blank) in N.C., died 4 Mar 1921 in Morehead, Rowan Co., Ky, married, farmer, father Isaac Moore, mother’s maiden name Polly Norton, both born in N.C., cause of death “did not have any doctor supposed to be his heart died suddenly”, informant W. S. Moore, Morehead, burial on home farm of James M. Moore.
Notes for Amanda Susan Parish
Her death certificate records Amanda Susan Moore, age 80 years 1 month 26 days, born 1866 in Kentucky, died 27 Apr 1946 in Morehead, Rowan Co., Ky, widowed, father James Moore, mother’s maiden name Bettie Parish, both born in Kentucky, cause of death arteriosclerotic heart disease, informant M. F. Moore, Morehead, Ky, burial in family cemetery.
The informant (her son Millard) has incorrectly reported Amanda's husband James Moore as her father. Perhaps he misunderstood the question as asking who his own father was rather than hers.
