This is a photo of Samuel Ross Tillery (1880-1958) and his second wife Emily Boone.  My husband is descended from Bessie Tillery, the daughter of  S. R. Tillery and his first wife Mattie Haynes.

S. R. Tillery and Mattie Haynes were married February 4, 1903 in Anderson County, TN.  They were divorced in November of 1906 in Knox County, TN.

Obituary of Melissa Moon Hart

I found this obituary of Malissa (or Melissa) Moon Hart in The Maryville Times, December 12, 1913.  It references a brother who came to see her before she died, a Mr. Moore of Indiana.  I believe this is her brother James Moon who lived in Illinois.  My husband has two DNA matches to descendants of this James Moon.
