Annie Eliza Sheen: Death Certificate

This is the death certificate of my 2nd great grandmother Annie Eliza Sheen that I obtained from the Utah State Archives online.


This death certificate says she was born in Kaysville, Utah on February 14, 1860.  (This post talks about possible issues with this information.)  Her parents are James and Mary Sheen.  This says they were born in Utah but I'm pretty sure that's not right.

She passed away June 21, 1945 in Ogden, Utah.  Cause of death is listed as myocarditis.

She was married to Neriah Thomas Moore Jr.

The informant was my great grandmother Erma Squires (Moore).  Her signature is on the document.

Morman Overland Trail Database: Part 5

This is the 5th post on the Mormon Overland Pioneer Database.  The 4th is here.

This post is about the family of James Sheen Sr, my 4th great grandfather.  The Sheen family crossed the plains in the Edmund Ellsworth Company in 1856. This was the very first handcart company to cross the plains.  They left Iowa City, Iowa on June 9, 1856 and arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah on September 26, 1856.  Traveling with the family were the following (and the information in the database is quite confusing):

James Sheen Sr.
Son Robert Sheen
  -Robert's Wife Eliza Elizabeth Taylor Sheen
  - Child Mary
  - Child Louisa ??
  - Child Annie
  - Child Emma (Died en route)
Son James Jr. (my 3rd great grandfather)
  - James' wife Mary Shields Jaynes (3rd great grandmother)
  - Child Annie Eliza  ?????
  - Child Sidney (Died en route)
Daughter Hannah
Daughter Ellen


Questions:
1.  Who is Louisa a child of?  I guessed Robert and Eliza but I'm not sure.
2.  James Sr. wife, Maria Loveridge, came across on the ship but isn't listed here.  My genealogy records indicated she dies on June 9, 1856 (the same date the handcarts set out from Iowa City) but no mention is made of this anywhere here in the Mormon Overland Pioneer Database.  Need more info on this.
3.  Annie Eliza.  This is apparently my 2nd great grandmother.  However her death certificate, obituary, and headstone all show her as having been born in 1860 in Utah.  There's something going on here that I need to sort out.  Maybe this Annie Eliza isn't the daughter of James Jr. and Mary (as is indicated in the database) but of someone else.

Below is a journal entry that mentions the death of Sidney

Annie Eliza Sheen (1860-1945): Obituary

This is the obituary for my 2nd great grandmother, Annie Eliza Sheen.  She was married to Neriah Thomas Moore Jr.  I believe this came from the Ogden, Utah paper.  She passed away on June 20, 1945.

This second image came from a church newsletter following her death.

Neriah Thomas Moore (1858-1943): Obituary

Neriah Thomas Moore (Jr.) was my 2nd great grandfather.  The following is an obituary that appeared (I think) in the Ogden paper (Standard-Examiner) March 20, 1943.  He passed away on March 19, 1943.  He was 85 years old.  It's a little small so you may have to blow it up to read it.

I'm not sure what paper this second obituary came from but the date written on it is March 23rd, 1943.

These talk about various jobs he had including working as a locksmith and gunsmith, working for the railroad, and working for the Ogden, Utah fire department until he retired.

His wife's name is Annie Eliza Sheen.
