The papers of her very famous great- grandfather, B. F. Moore of Raleigh during the Civil War were given to the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hills Davis Librarys Southern Historical Collection with enough funding to ensure that the collection would be archived by scholars using computerized research techniques.

The walls of her home have portraits of women and men in her family who had become famous for their service to the State of North Carolina. Her great- grandmother, Lucy Williams Boddie Moore, has a stained glass window dedicated to her at Christ Episcopal Church in Raleigh. A portrait of her great- grandmother, painted in oils in the late 1800s, has hung in her dining room for decades. In her living room there hung for decades two oil portraits over two hundred years old of her great-grandfather and great-grandmother, Henry John Gray Ruffin (born 1782) and Mary Polly Tartt, his wife. Major Ruffin was a soldier in the War of 1812 and a legislator in one of the first legislatures of the State of North Carolina, free of British rule. Miss Ruffin was gifted with a love of music.

She freely and graciously acknowledged in the latter years that the quality of her life had risen steeply due to their loyal help and care. Her final arrangements are being handled by Brown-Wynne , 300 St. Marys Street, Raleigh. |
