Albert Moore, son of Rev. Warner Moore and Mourning Ella Leak, was born November 2, 1875 in Buntyn (now part of Memphis), Tennessee.
He volunteered for the United States Army to fight in the Spanish-American War. He left for Cuba on November 28, 1898 as a Private in the Fourth Regiment of Tennessee Volunteers. He left the Army on May 6, 1899 in Savannah, Georgia as a First Sergeant.
He entered the military again in 1917 as an Artillery Battalion Instructor.
After returning to Memphis, he worked as a reporter and city editor for The Commercial Appeal (which was at one time owned by his wife's uncle, W. A. Collier). Albert was also a Mason and member of The Order of the Eastern Star.
He had breathing trouble for the rest of his life following his failed attempt to save his son William from a fatal gunshot wound in 1935. Albert could not lie flat on his back, and had to sleep while sitting or while propped up.
He died in Memphis in early 1946 of either Respiratory Failure or Congestive Heart Failure, likely due to complications from his prior health issues.
