Phoebe Ann Oakley Mozee or is it Mosey?

Poster for "Little Sure Shot," Buffalo Bill's star attraction.

Annie Oakley was born Phoebe Ann Oakley Mozee in 1860 in Darke County, Ohio.
Her four sisters called her Annie.
Annie Oakley, her chosen stage name, was the Wild West Show's star attraction for seventeen years because she never missed a shot.
