The informant was her husband Edward Marion (Ed) Cruze. Both her parents were actually born in North Carolina. Her mother was Margaret Ann (Maggie) England, but Maggie's stepfather was James Calvin (Calvin) Giles.

She was buried on 17 February 1928 in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Loudon County, Tennessee.38

Amanda does not appear in the Williamson Family Bible. I would therefore assume that she died young and was not recorded in the Bible.
