Elzey W. Moore, born July 10, 1872 at Smithville, Monroe County, Mississippi, and died at Comanche, Oklahoma on August 2, 1940, where he is interred, was son of William Alfred Moore, born September 25, 1849 in Monroe County, Mississippi, and his wife, Martha Jane Moore, nee Lan, born August 19, 1843 in Monroe County, Mississippi, his said father and mother being married at Smithville, Mississippi, on October 22, 1868.
Elzey W. Moore came to Cameron, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory, with his father and mother on January 2, 1894, and at Monroe nearby in the Choctaw Nation he farmed and taught school until he settled at Heavener in the Choctaw Nation in 1898.
He was married to Malinda Jestun Killen at Monroe, Choctaw Nation on February 12, 1899, who died May 2, 1903. From said union she left surviving two children, to-wit: Floyd Swayne Moore, born November 13, 1899, and died September 8, 1918, and Maud Allene Moore, born August 30, 1901, and died November 22, 1902.
Elzey W. Moore at the organization of the municipal government of Heavener in 1902, was elected Mayor and re-elected, serving two terms. In 1903 he entered the drug business at Heavener in partnership with the late Dr. John Fowler. In 1906, having sold his interest in the drug business, he moved to Comanche, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, on May 10, 1906.
On November 16, 1904 he was married to Maud M. Hall at Cauthron, Arkansas, who survives him. To this union came six children, to-wit: Elzey Clayburn Moore, born December 14, 1905 and died April 14, 1907; Lillian Moore Welcher, born July 22, 1907; Joe D. Moore, born March 15, 1909; Guy Haskell Moore, born June 11, 1910 and died May 22, 1932; Champ Porter Moore, born December 12, 1912; and Robert Woodrow Moore, born September 23, 1914.
He was elected Mayor of Comanche in 1907, acting ex officio as Town Justice, and re-elected, serving two terms, and later was elected and served as a member of the City Council and also as Justice of the Peace.
In 1913 he was Livestock Inspector under the State Board of Agriculture. When the court house for Stephens County was constructed, being elected for two consecutive terms, he was Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners. Under appointment of the Governor, he served in 1915 on a special School Land Assessment Committee, and for a period of time was gasoline inspector under the State Corporation Commission. In all his public service he was efficient and faithful.
A fine citizen, taking a leading part in the upbuilding of the city and community and promoting the public welfare — loyal and devoted to both wives and children, a faithful friend, a member of the Methodist Church, and actively affiliated with the Democratic Party, has passed from these earthly surroundings.
