About Sarah Elizabeth Wigley Moore Dunn

Her birth name was Sarah Elizabeth Smith. Her father was Jeremiah Smith as written on her death certificate. Sarah was the younger sister (by 20 years) of Mosby Smith, whose daughter, Margaret Smith Moore was married to Edward L. Moore, the brother of Sarah's second husband, Thomas Moore.

Her name on her first marriage to Henry Wigley was Sarah E. Smith. Her name on the marriage registration to Thomas F. Moore was Lizzie Wigley. Mrs. Sarah E. Moore signed the death certificate of Thomas Frank Moore in 1908. Cannot find any marriage record for Thomas Frank Moore other than to Lizzie Wigley (Smith). She is listed on census reports 1900 and 1910 as Lizzie and Elizabeth Moore. Elizabeth Moore is listed on the 1910 Census as the live-in housekeeper for Mr. Francis Topmiller and his 2 brothers in Indianapolis. Her daughter, Frances Moore, age 13, is also listed as living with her. She appears in the Indianapolis City Directory of 1910 as "Elizabeth (Wid Thomas F.) Moore" living at 221 Hamilton Ave. Indianapolis, Indiana which is the address of Mr. Francis Topmiller. Sarah E. Moore remarried in 1911 to William C. Dunn in Indianapolis and by 1920 was living with him in Sheldon, Iroquois, Illinois. Her daughter, Frances Moore, came with them. After William Dunn died in 1927, Sarah E.(Smith, Wigley, Moore) Dunn lived with her daughter, Frances Moore Lareau Powers until her death in Kankakee, Illinois in 1942.
