Roxie O'Bryant [1884-1920] {Mysterious Baby}

According to the death certificate of my great grandmother, Roxie Moss (nee O'Bryant), she died 30 minutes after the birth of an unknown child, and some of are trying to piece together, as to what happened to the unknown baby. It seems that after she died, my great grandfather, William Lawrence Moss [1887-1959] married Madge Lee Cox [1901-1990].

Both William and Roxie had the following children:

1. Boyde Jackson Moss [1909-1969]
2. Jewel Hazel Moss [1911-1986]
3. Mary S. Moss [1914-?]

When Roxie died , William married Madge Lee and they had one (1) son;

1. Dewey Lee Moss [1928-1985]

So that means that after 1920, and before 1928 William married Madge.

So now here is my question, what happened to the Unknown child? Did the baby survive or was it still born? And if it was still-born,then where is the death certificate for the Unborn baby? There are a lot of people that would like to know what happened to the baby? The name of the local registrar was D. Shesou(sp). The death certificate was in the County of Oconee in the township of Tugalo in the town of Westminister, South Carolina. Roxie is listed a housewife and the death certificate was signed by ?? Simpson and the undertaker was ?? Huley.

Roxie was born 02/23/1884 in Oconee County, South Carolina and died 02/23/1920 in Westminister, Oconee County, South Carolina. So she was died on her birth day, which is sad?
