## Biography

[edit]

Moore was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (where her grandfather served as mayor[1]) on April 13,[2] 1912.[3] Her father, Alexander Bryan, had served as the warden of the Louisiana State Penitentiary.[3] She received her bachelor's degree from the Louisiana State University.[4] During World War II, Moore was a member of the Women's Army Corps[1] and was a unit commander.[4] She ran for Louisiana Register of State Lands against Lucille May Grace in 1948,[5] before finally winning the position in 1952.[6] After Grace took back the seat in 1956, Moore returned in 1960 and served until 1976.[4] Her position entailed the responsibility of administering property owned by the state of Louisiana.[3] She was also a heritage preserver, as was indicated in her efforts to salvage a Civil War battlefield near Baton Rouge.[3]

Moore was inducted to the Louisiana Center for Women in Government and Business Hall of Fame in 1995.[7] Following a stroke in October the previous year,[3] she died on February 20, 1999.[2][3]
