Moore Profile

Marshall T. Moore Elementary opened in the fall of 2000. It was named for one of the district's first Board members who were instrumental in consolidating four small, rural districts into what is now Union. The school was built on land which was originally part of the Moore farm.

About Marshall T. Moore

Mr. Moore moved to this area of 71st and Garnett in 1903 with his parents from Missouri. The Moore’s purchased their farm, which now Marshall T. Moore Elementary is a part of, from a Creek Indian by the name of Hattie Childers, from her original allotment.  

Mr. Moore married Amy Lytle in 1910.  Amy Lytle’s father farmed land in the 71st and Sheridan area, also part of the current Union School District.  Mr. Moore farmed his land continuously, but in 1917 was an U.S. Marshall for the Alcohol, Tax and Firearm Division until 1928.  From 1928 until his death he continued his farming as well as in the production of natural gas wells.

It was Mr. Moore, along with his father-in-law, brother-in-law, and a cousin, who worked within the four “one room” schools of this area to form Union Consolidated Schools.  Mr. Moore was a member of the first school board, of which had his father-in-law as its first board president.

Mr. Moore had seven children, all of which attended Union Schools from 1st-12th grades. Those children and their dates of graduation are as follows:  Ted and Betty, 1982;  John, 1935;  Hele, 1941;  Mary Gene, 1944;  Ruth Ann, 1946; and Neil, 1949.  Neil still lives on the original homestead - west across the creek from the concrete plant on 71st , west of 129th E. Ave.  

Marshall Moore was a member of the Union School Board from 1918 to 1933.  He worked very hard to convince the patrons of those four small schools that is would be in their best interest to consolidate into one school system.  He had the foresight to envision that the opportunities for the students of this area would be greatly enhanced from this “union”.
