Gonzales Weekly Inquirer, Aug. 6, 1887
Died at her home in Hondo City, Texas - Thursday, July 28, 1887 of 
consumption, Mrs. Mattie Merriman, aged 26 years, 8 months and 16 days.  Mrs. 
Merriman was the daughter of our fellow townsman Mr. A.J. Moore, born and 
reared in Gonzales County, and had many friends here who will regret to learn 
of her death.  She had schoolmates and friends in the city who remember her as 
a bright and lovely young lady.  On Feb. 1, 1883, she married to Mr. J.C. 
Merriman, of Hondo City, which place was her home up to the time of her 
death.  She was not very strong for a year past, but it was within the last 
three months that the symptons of consumption became apparent.  She leaves a 
disconsolate husband, and two chiidren to grow up without the care and 
influence of a mother, besides her parents and two brothers.  We tender our 
heartfelt sympathy to the mourning relatives.

Additional Comments:
Martha "Mattie" Willis Moore was the oldest child of Andrew J. Moore and his 
first wife, Virginia Tinsley Moore.  She was the granddaughter of Dr. John 
Tinsley of Gonzales.  The two daughters of Mattie and John Merriman were 
Elizabeth (1884-1953) and Virginia (1885-1979).
