Born in Clear Spring, Maryland in 1864, "Aunt Mamie" appears to have had a piecemeal existence after coming of age (last appearing with her family in census records in 1880). Following her listing in the 1880 census with her parents and siblings, she next appears in 1913, in a Martinsburg, WV directory, living at 210 W. Martin St. (where her mother also resided, at the time, having been widowed in 1904).
From 1913-1939, she can be located in five more city directories, the 1930 census record, and her death record, having had no less than six addresses. In 1910, 1920, and 1922, her occupations were listed as clerk (at a mill), "mender", and "mill worker", respectively.
She never married, and the reason may be for the physical disabilty (polio?). In the 1990s, Howard A. Crouch described her: "She was a small lady with one leg 4 or 5 inches shorter than the other one. She wore a built up shoe but still walked with a limp. The few times I saw her she was dressed in black and her shoes were ankle high fastened with buttons."
She is believed buried in the Moore plot with her mother and father, but has no headstone.
