EUEL MOORE
Vol. 3, p. 1098 - 1099

The possibility of a successful future in the forthcoming State of
Oklahoma, and the inspiration of his teacher, who afterwards became
successful in law, led Euel MOORE to complete his education in the
University of Texas, after graduating from the high school at
Clarksville, Texas, in 1904. The tentative plans of preceding years
were completed in the 1912, when Mr. Moore came to Coalgate,
Oklahoma, and entered into partnership with George TRICE, the
friendship and strong attachment for whom had been formed while the
latter was a teacher in the public school at Bagwell, Red River
County, Texas. The firm has prospered in the new state and its
members rank among the representative lawyers of the southeastern
section of the commonwealth.

Euel Moore was born in Jackson County, Alabama, November 2, 1884,
and is a son of Charles H. and Mary (STEPHENS) Moore, both of whom
are yet living in Red River County, Texas. The paternal ancestry is
of English origin and the generations whose lives have been passed in
America have been men of thrift and intellect, the greater number
having been engaged in the field of agriculture, although they have
also contributed to the professions and to the marts of trade and
commerce. The paternal grandfather of Mr. Moore was a soldier in the
Confederate army during the war between the North and the South. His
paternal grandmother sprang from a stock of Holland Dutch and on his
mother's side there was a predominancy of Scotch and English.
Representatives of both sides of the house came to America shortly
after the close of the War of the Revolution.

Mr. Moore's fundamental education was obtained in the public schools
of Red River County, Texas, and the high school at Clarksville, in
that state. After completing the course of study at the latter
school, in 1905 he entered the University of Texas, completing the
course in the law department in 1909. During the term of 1909-10 the
honor of quiz master was conferred upon him by the university. In
1909 he was admitted to the bar in Texas, but did not begin practice
until he came to Coalgate in 1912 and entered into partnership with
Mr. Trice. In the university he took an active interest in democratic
politics, in view of the close association of that science with the
profession of law, as well as in athletics. Having been reared on a
farm, he was possessed of the physique and vigor of the successful
athlete, yet he never permitted that subject to interfere with the
serious study of those subjects more vital to the profession of his
choice.

Mr. Moore's fraternal connection is with the Blue Lodge of the
Masonic order at Coalgate. He is a valued member of the Coal County
Bar Association and stands high in the esteem and confidence of his
fellow members in that body. Unlike many others, he did not cease to
be a student when he left college halls, but has continued to apply
himself closely to study of law and its many perplexities. While he
has taken an active interest in matters pertaining to the public and
commercial welfare of the city, he has not taken a leading or
conspicuous part.
