Lucy was the youngest child of William Henry MOORE & Rachel Adeline GORDINEER. She had 8 brothers & Sisters. As a young girl, Lucy's mother, Rachel, traveled around with her children making and selling beads to the Indians from a wagon. One day a band of Indians started chasing after Rachel. She began driving the horses very fast over very rough terrain. The wagon pitched and Lucy began to fall. One of the boys caught her though, but she hit her back on a wagon wheel. This was between 1912 & 1924. Rachel got away, but after that incident, Lucy began suffering from fits. (Most likely epileptic seizures, as other family members have suffered from this) Rachel swore someone put a Hex on her. Not knowing much about the illness, Lucy was committed to the Hospital For The Insane, (an Asylum), in Venita, Oklahoma. She died there at the age of 25.
