Raymond Howard Moore (1866-1950) MSS 100m Raymond Howard Moore was the seventh and last child, and the fourth son, born to Catherine and C. W. Moore. Raymond was born in Boise City on February 28, 1886, and went to public schools in Boise. Then he attended Andover and Yale and graduated from Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. He married Estelle Clinton in Salt Lake City on January 12, 1911. They had two children, Clinton Wilkinson Moore and Margaret Moore Howell. Raymond was elected assistant cashier of the First National Bank in 1911 and became cashier in 1923, working in that capacity until the bank reorganization in 1932. He also served as a director of the bank. He moved to Salt Lake City about 1934, and later to California. Raymond’s social and intellectual skills were not matched with business successes. His life was plagued with financial difficulties. At one point his wife convinced him to get into the furniture business. The managers of the business sent by the bank were both reputed to have furnished their own homes out of it, without making the business pay. Raymond’s share of the Moore estate was handled differently: the trustees sold the furniture business, deducted the loans paid by his father, paid off his debts, and gave him the rest in stock. Anna Moore Parsons, who had no children, left her estate to Raymond’s children. Estelle died in Los Angeles. Raymond then married Betty in 1943. He died in Santa Ana, California, on October 12, 1950. --by Carol L. MacGregor (1990) S Anderson, Eloise H. Frontier Bankers:A History of the Idaho First National Bank.
