American Red Cross Relief volunteer who went to Europe post-World War I to help with relief effort in war-torn Europe. Born at Fordstown Crossroads in County Meath, she likely died from influenza and/or pneumonia. She has been recorded as being from Chicago, but a news article listing 161 women who died in WWI and post-WWI American volunteer relief organizations describes her from as being from Hollywood, California. The list of names sorted by state and city were derived from emergency contact information provided by each person entering the European theater of operations during and after the war. So she may have been from Chicago when she volunteered, and used her mother's name and address in Hollywood as an emergency contact. In fact, the Moores emigrated from Ireland in 1896 to initially take up residence in Toledo, Ohio. At the time of her death, Mary's mother, Ravenna Moore, and her three star motion picture actor brothers--Owen, Matt, and Tom Moore--all resided in Hollywood (while working at D.W. Griffith's Biograph Studios, Owen Moore met a young Canadian actress named Gladys Smith whom he married on January 7, 1911. Gladys Moore's stage name was Mary Pickford. Before long the marriage ended and Mary Pickford left him for actor Douglas Fairbanks). Mary was originally buried in Tours, France, with other Americans of various relief organizations in a cemetery dedicated to them. She was reinterred at the cemetery cited here when the remains of buried Americans in temporary American cemeteries in western Europe were finally removed to large American cemeteries.
