Services for Charlie P. Moore,
88-year-old retired paper company employe who homesteaded the
present site of the Civic center, will be Saturday, 2 pm, in the
Hunter funeral chapel, with burial at Sunny
Lane cemetery.
Moore died Wednesday at an
Oklahoma City nursing home after a month's illness.
Born at DeKalb, Mo., he came to
Oklahoma City in the run of 1889. About two years later, he sold
his Civic center lots and homesteaded another tract four miles
north of McCloud. In 1916, he returned to the city. Moore
retired about 15 years ago from the Oklahoma Paper Co.
He is survived by a son, Joe
E., and a daughter, Mrs. Bertha Cobb, both of the home; one
granddaughter; three great-grandchildren, and a sister, Mrs. Elin
Bainum, of Shawnee.
