October 6, 1852 - November 7, 1928 After an illness of some weeks, D. P. Moore, who for nearly fifty years has been one of the outstanding figures in the commercial life and community upbuilding of this section of Texas, passed away at John Sealy Hospital in Galveston on November 7 and was laid to rest in Cedarvale Cemetery on November 9.
Born in Indianola, Texas, October 6, 1852, of sturdy Revolutionary War stock, Dolph Phineas Moore was the son of Robert Baxter Moore and Mary Layton Moore, of Newark, New Jersey.
Receiving his education in the private schools of historic old Indianola, he early left that point to locate in Matagorda county, coming at an early date and engaging in the mercantile business at what was then known as Elliott's Postoffice, just west of the present site of Bay City. Catching the vision of the possibilities in Matagorda county for an aggressive business man, Mr. Moore branched out into farming and stock raising, in addition to his mercantile business, and acquired large holdings over the county.
Having by his simplicity of manner and clean cut methods of business firmly established himself in the mercantile circles of the time. Mr. Moore removed from Elliott's Postoffice to the old town of Matagorda, the then county seat, in 1891, there operating an exclusive mercantile business. He was definitely interested in the development of Matagorda and did everything possible to promote the community life there.
At this point in his life, Mrs. Moore came into public service, being appointed by the court to serve out the unexpired term of the then county treasurer, resigned, and at the next regular election in 1892 was returned to office, filling important posts until November 14, 1902. Such tenure of service in one capacity speaks eloquently of his ability and fidelity to public trust.
In 1894 Mr. Moore was a distinct factor in the founding of the present town of Bay City, giving of his time, his means, his lands that from out of the prairie should come a town emphasizing the dual aims of its citizenry--the success of the cattle business and the launching of the rice industry which have opened our doors to the markets of the nation. He was the first president of the Matagorda County Rice and Irrigation Company, organized in 1899 and lived to see his faith in this section as a great rice growing belt, vindicated.
The town of Bay City, from the middle of Avenue G west lies on the lands of D. P. Moore. In assisting in the founding of Bay City, Mr. Moore gave rights of way, unlimited time and much money to the end that it should become a really happy place to live, and was a leading spirit in the matter of getting the Cane Belt, Southern Pacific and Brownsville railroads into the town. He was active in getting bonuses, sites, etc., and gave liberally to the cause himself.
[He] was always interested in anything that touched the civic life and welfare of Bay City, giving generously to all demands upon his sympathy and interest. Numerous donations of lands have been made by Mr. Moore to the city among which is Cedarvale Cemetery and its park.
In addition to his mercantile business at Bay City, Palacios and Gulf, Mr. Moore was heavily interested in many of the business enterprises of the town and county, at one time serving as vice-president of the First National Bank of Bay City, being one of its directors at the time of his death.
December 17, 1879, Mr. Moore married Miss Louise Wendel, daughter of John and Elizabeth Wendel, now deceased. Surviving Mr. Moore are his wife, his daughters, Mrs. John R. Reynolds of Bay City, Mrs. Bennett Harvey, of Oklahoma City; Mrs. A. M. Jackson, of Galveston; Mrs. C. M. O'Brien of Gulf; Miss Grace Moore of Ketchikan, Alaska, and Miss Martha Moore of Bay City; his sons, Grover, Layton and Jerome, all of Bay City; two brothers, H. E. Moore of Wharton and Dan Moore of Bay City, and one sister, Miss Eudora I. Moore of Buda, Texas; four grandchildren, Dolph Beadle Moore, William Grover Moore, Marjorie Moore Harvey and Phyllis Moore O'Brien.
In the passing of D. P. Moore, we see a pioneer ranchman and merchant, a spirit clean, sturdy and fine, possessing the unqualified esteem of every man who knew him and a high sense of responsibility for the welfare of his family and his fellowman. Of quiet dignity straightforward and sincere, his life stands out as a distinct part in the development of Bay City and Matagorda county.
