Moore buried in Moore Cemetery and Amanda Nall Moore on Kentucky Death Certificate 26176 are the same person. In the 1930 US Federal Census for Hopkins County, 90 year old Manda Moore is living with Julis (son-in-law) and Lula (daughter) Mitchell; Mrs. Lou Mitchell is the information on the death certificate.
