HERBERT
MOORE
On
the list of professional men in Long Beach appears the name of Herbert Moore, a
well known attorney, who was recently a candidate for congress. He was born in
Cleburne, Texas, April 6, 1888, a son of Robert L. and Ella (Dunn) Moore, the
latter a native of the same town. The father, an expert telegrapher, was a
lifelong resident of the Lone Star state and passed away at Amarillo. He is
survived by a widow and two children: Herbert; and Ethel, the wife of H. H.
Riley.
The son obtained his high school
education in his native town and his advanced studies were pursued in the
University of Texas, which awarded him the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1913.
Admitted to the bar in the same year, he entered upon his legal career in
Houston, Texas, and his ability received public recognition in the appointment
of assistant city attorney. Mr. Moore came to the Pacific coast in 1916 and in
1918 he qualified for practice in California, since then locating in Long
Beach. He maintains offices on the fourth floor of the First National Bank
building and specializes in negligence cases practice but has a large general
practice. Well versed in the minutiae of law, he readily quotes precedents and
is strong in argument, winning many verdicts favorable to the interests of his
clients.
A devotee of golf, Mr. Moore usually
plays on the links of the Virginia Country Club, in which he has membership,
and also enjoys motoring in his leisure hours. His political support is given
to the democratic party, having been a candidate for
congress at the primary election in August, 1932. A prominent Mason, he is
identified with both the York and Scottish Rite bodies
and with Al Malaikah Temple of the Mystic Shrine in
Los Angeles. He belongs to Long Beach Lodge, No. 888, B. P. O. E., to the Progressive
Executive Club, and to the Long Beach, California State and American Bar
Associations. In his practice he has always adhered to a course which reflects
credit upon his profession and measures up to high standards in every relation
of live.
