Gila County Superior Court was adjourned Wednesday in memory of Judge Walter D. Moore of Florence, who passed away suddenly Monday morning. Judge Moore suffered a heart attack in the Adams Hotel in Phoenix, where he was attending a Republican Central Committee meeting.
A resolution memorializing the judge was drawn up by a committee of lawyers appointed by the court and entered upon the minutes of the court Wednesday morning. The committee consisted of James r. Malott, Cullen A. Little and Edward W. Rice. The well-known judge was born Aug. 25, 1882, in New Jersey. he moved to Globe in 1909, when Arizona was still a territory. Upon his arrival, he was made bailiff of the court by Judge Ernest W. Lewis, the last territorial judge before Arizona became a state. He served in this capacity for about two years and then entered upon the practice of law in Globe. After successfully practicing there for 25 years, failing health forced him to retire. He moved to Florence, where he engaged in ranching with outstanding success. His farm, located three and a half miles east of Florence is a showplace today. Among other attractions, it boasts 175 full-bearing pecan trees.
