Danny Roy Moore

Danny Roy Moore is a civil engineer and land surveyor in Arcadia, Louisiana, who served as a conservative Democrat in the Louisiana State Senate from 1964 until 1968. He represented a north Louisiana district, then unnumbered, encompassing Claiborne and Bienville parishes.

Moore was born in Haynesville in northern Claiborne Parish just south of the Arkansas state line to Arthur Roy Moore , a Mississippi native known as Roy Moore, and the former Capitola Touchstone . Roy Moore managed the Jitney Jungle grocery outlet in Homer, a since defunct chain store that originated in 1919 in Jackson, Mississippi. Moore began school in Haynesville, but his family relocated to Homer, where in 1942 he graduated from Homer High School. Capitola Moore was a sister of Sam F. Touchstone , who owned a taxidermy and wildlife museum in Haughton in southern Bossier Parish. Moore was hence a first cousin of Ned Touchstone , an advocacy newspaper publisher and a visible figure among what was called the Radical Right in Louisiana during the 1960s. In 1967, Touchstone unsuccessfully challenged the reelection of Louisiana Education Superintendent Bill Dodd. Roy and Capitola Moore are interred at Arlington Cemetery in Homer, the parish seat of Claiborne Parish.
