Jann: Robert Moore was the Sheriff of Desha County for many years. He was certainly there in the late forties and early to mid fifties. His wife is still alive and lives in Arkansas City. I didn't talk with her the last time I was there but the County Clerk or some such advised me to talk with her in order to learn a little of the background of modern Desha County. I don't think my mind is failing me. Maybe it wasn't Mrs Moore but I believe it was her that I was referred to. I think he was Robert S Moore but again that is coming from a failing memory.
