"James graduated from Mize, Miss. high school. He attended Junior College of Mississippi (Presbyterian) and graduated from Palmer Junior College (Presbyterian) in DeFuniak Springs and attended Presbyterian College in South Carolina. James got a degree from the University of Texas and Theological
Degree from Austin Presbyterian Seminary.

ANECDOTES - From Daddy Jim's (James E. Moore, Sr's) youth
When he was a senior in high school he borrowed his uncle's Model T car and hit a cow. Demolished the car and landed up in the hospital. (James, Jr., when he was about the same age also had a bad wreck, sending him to the hospital with many injuries). James and Paul earned their college money one summer by peddling some new fangled can openers door to door. They sold like hotcakes, even though it was the Depression. They slept in churches and railroad stations and could usually talk the jail keepers into buying one. Travelled through about three states selling these. James and his brothers sold their family's garden vegetables door to door, using a horse drawn wagon as transportation. Granddaddy Arthur Moore always had a good garden. James worked at J.C. Penney's in South Carolina while in College; at Turner Dept. Store in DeFuniak; and at J.C. Penney's in Austin while attending seminary. He first met Jewett while trying a pair of shoes on her in DeFuniak - she didn't buy them, but he slipped them on her feet, and got a date anyway.

James married Jewett Bell Lammon on 10 Oct 1931 in Ponce De Leon, Holmes County, Florida. Jewett (daughter of Daniel McColskey Lammon and Beatrice Leonia Bailey) was born on 3 Jun 1910 in Wicksburg, Houston County, Alabama; died on 5 Apr 1983 in Destin, Okaloosa County, Florida; was buried in Destin Memorial Cemetery, Destin, Okaloosa County, Florida.

Notes:

Info from James Edward Moore Jr. The following note from Quinton, herself, December 2001:

Quinton Inez Moore, (called Quin), eldest daughter of Jewett Lammon Moore and James E, Moore. Born March 25, 1933 in Slocomb, Ala. Graduated Leon High School, Tallahassee, Florida, 1951. Graduated from Florida State University 1955 with BS in Journalism. Married LeRoy R. Sherrer of Bay City, Texas, on Christmas Day, 1955 at the Walton Hotel, DeFuniak Springs, Florida.

LeRoy's having already earned a Math degree from FSU 1954, the couple moved to Houston where he studied engineering at the University of Houston. Quin did postgraduate study during this time.

After he earned his engineering degree, they moved to Titusville, Florida where LeRoy was an aeronautical engineer with NASA until he retired. Quin was a newspaper reporter and magazine feature article writer.

In the past 16 years she has written or co-authored 22 Christian books, primarily on prayer and strengthening the home. Several have been best sellers in the Christian market. Her latest book, "God Be With Us-A Daily Guide To Praying For Our Nation" was written for Time Warner Books right after the September 11, 2001 tragedy in our nation.

She has spoken on more than 250 radio and television stations and speaks at women's conferences both in the U.S. and other nations.

Following his retirement, LeRoy attended Bible school in Dallas where all three of their children graduated. From there they moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, for LeRoy to serve on a church staff. Their three children, Quinett, Keith and Sherry eventually relocated to Colorado Springs. Now, Quin and LeRoy can enjoy their six grandchildren. (Dec 2001)

Notes written by Quinton Inez Moore, furnished by R. Granger Bruner from the archives of Ruth Lammon:

From Quin's Memory bank: During the Second War when you had to cut your own bread, James, Jr., got the butcher knife used for cutting bread and tried to cut some small pieces of wood with it for his kite. "James, put that down or you'll cut your finger off," his older sister warned. Just then he sliced his little finger. He held it in his hand while mother took him to the doctor to sew it back on. It was crooked but because it was still hanging on by the skin, they were able to save it! Praise God.

Another time James and Arthur found some kind of medicine or poison of some type and offered to let Quin taste it if she wouldn't tell on them. When she tasted it, she feared all three would die so she "told Mama" who panicked and cried and poked bread and milk down all of us. I prayed and prayed I wouldn't die and the next day being Sunday I tried to join the church...

Another time in Conroe a mad dog got loose and James, Jr. had to climb a tree until he got out of our yard. Our little doggie had to be tied up and kept that way for days to be sure he didn't get rabies from the mad dog. It was very frightening.
