Bio
Alice Mae Moore was the third child born to Simon Lafayette Moore and Elizabeth Aline Brabston Moore. Simon Lafayette "Fate" Moore was born in 1844 and was a Baptist preacher who stood 6 foot 8 inches tall. He was the son of William "Bill" Moore and Lou Patterson. In 1873, he married 25-year-old, 5 foot nothing, half Cherokee, Elizabeth Aline "Faith" Brabston in Jefferson Co, TN. By 1893 Aline had given birth to 8 children, one of which died in infancy. Three years later, they decided to GO TO TEXAS , leaving behind their oldest daughter Mattie Aline who had married a young man named Ivy (we thought). Not realizing they would never see Mattie again, or ever know any of her children, they took the six youngest children and joined a wagon train headed west, making their new home in Fannin County, Texas. As families do, the children grew up, married and had families of their own. More than 100 years later the descendents span six generations. All of Fate and Aline's eight children are deceased. Seven of their 23 plus grandchildren are still alive, and the 100 plus members of the fourth, fifth, and sixth generations are scattered throughout Texas, Oklahoma and Tennessee. In 2001, thanks to genealogy research and the internet, Fate and Faith's great grandchildren found each other and in 2001 had a reunion in Grayson Co. Since then other family members have been located and more information is forthcoming all the time. For the reunion Alice's grandchildren submitted this brief bio on her life: "Grandmother married Alexander Martin Bartley in 1898. They moved to Memphis Texas. We grandchildren remember that Grandmother was honest, kind, tall and stately. She always wore her hair in a bun. Her house was always clean and tidy. She always had something cooking in her kitchen. She always shared her chocolate covered cherries. She also had a Pekinese named Susie who perfomed many tricks that grandmother taught her. She dried apricots out back on chicken wire about 6 foot off the ground, covered over with cheese cloth. She did this to have apricots in the winter. She also worked for the WPA during wartime. Grandmother would also take us children to church with her, and many times we walked. She always listened to the Christian Radio Station. She had a party line on her phone. She grew roses out in front of her porch. She saw the beginning of the horseless carriage era and the first space flight. She survived the depression. She is really missed, but we will see her again when it is our time.....Praise the Lord."
