Col. W.H.H. Moores, Sr. was born near Longtown, Fairfield County, S.C. on July 23, 1830. He was the youngest son of Charles Moores. When about 10 years of age his father moved from South Carolina to Bowie County Texas. The remainder of his life was spent in this county, and until a few years before his death, on the farm settled by his parents in the early days. He was generous to a fault. In his lovely country home hospitality reigned supreme. He was a typical Southern gentleman. His motto must have been, Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do with thy might," for his flowers, gardens, orchards and farms were kept in perfect order. It was told that on one occasion he had bought quite a number of fruit trees from an old friend, but he was disappointed in them, and had this friend to come over and inspect the orchard. After looking for some time he remarked, "Why Mr. Moores, you have assassinated them with kindness." In all of his undertakings his work was thorough. He was sent to Lexington, Kentucky., to school, and afterward attended Princeton. He was a great reader, and kept up with current events, etc. A few years before his death he left his country home and moved to Texarkana, Texas. Here the last few years of his life were spent. He was a member of the M.E. Church, South. The ministers of the Gospel always found a hearty welcome in his home.
