- Mrs. Alice Hamilton Moore, widow of Doctor Robert Moore of Bushmills, Ireland, died on the evening of November 2, 1939. She was 85. She was residing with the author, C.S. Lewis, his brother, Warren, and Mrs. Janie King-Moore(no relation) at "The Kilns", on the outskirts of Headington Quarry, Oxfordshire. Alice Hamilton was a friend of the Lewis family living in Ireland, who had hit upon hard times. The Lewis brothers, having learned of her predicament, built a bungalow on The Kilns. Alice Hamilton was invited to live there, as she did, in peace and quiet for the rest of her life. She was a resident at the Kilns when she died, as confirmed in the Burial Register of Holy Trinity Church in Headington Quarry. She was buried the afternoon of November 6, 1939, in the Holy Trinity Churchyard. The Rev. Thomas Bleiden officiated at the service. Alice Hamilton Moore is buried in the same grave as Mrs Janie King-Moore, the lady who purchased the Kilns in 1930 with the Lewis brothers.
