Married Everett Wade Bedinger in 1869 as his second wife. Daughter of Maria VanDoren Voorhees and Conrad Bilmyer. We learn the names of the second wife's six kids from the online book: "Dr. Everett Bedinger married, second, Anna Moore Bilmyre, of Shepherdstown, and they have six children: Myra Van Doren, Anna Moore, Katharine Conrad, Olivia Morgan, Henry Garrett, and John Van Doren. Almost all of his fourteen children are living, and he himself, a hale old man of eighty, is still in good health at his home at Anchorage, Ky. He is the only living grandchild of G. M. Bedinger."[p222-223, book, George Michael Bedinger, a Kentucky Pioneer, googlebooks]
Update July 2017: With thanks to findagraver, Rebecca Sheehan-Plotkin (#48659266) who discovered and took time to transcribe a lovely 1917 obit for Mrs Anna Moore Billmyer Bedinger. Rebecca wrote that she found this "obituary for Anna Bedinger in the Shepherdstown Register (Shepherdstown, WV) of 7/26/1917."

"Mrs. Anna Moore Bedinger, aged 72 years, widow of Rev. Everett Wade Bedinger, a prominent Presbyterian minister and educator, died on July 15th at the family residence in Anchorage, Kentucky. Her death was a result of a stroke of paralysis, superinduced by heat prostration, suffered three weeks previous. Saturday she received a second stroke and lapsed into an unconscious state, from which she did not rally. Mrs. Billmyer [sic, Bedinger] was a native of Shepherdstown, and a daughter of the late Conrad Billmyer, a pioneer woolen mill operator. She had been a resident of Kentucky since her marriage in March 1869, and for thirty-six years had lived in Anchorage. Her husband’s death occurred in March, 1916. A daughter, Miss Anna M. Bedinger, died last August upon her return from Korea, where she had been sent as a missionary by the Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Bedinger is survived by two sons, Henry G. Bedinger, a lawyer, of Louisville, and Dr. John V. D. Bedinger, who was in the field hospital at Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga., at the time of his mother’s death; three daughers, Miss Mariah Bedinger, teacher at the Louisville Girl’s High School; Miss Katherine Bedinger, of Anchorage, and Miss Olivia Bedinger, teacher at the Emmert Field School; and a sister, Miss Catherine Billmyer."

Yes it seems that we have at least three surname spellings for Anna's maiden surname: Billmyer, Bilmyer, Bilmyre. I notice an early Conrad Billmyer, Find A Grave Memorial# 7383892, but on the photo of his Elmwood Cemetery, WV tombstone it reads "Bilmyer."
