Robert G. Moore was born July 27, 1888, near Algona, Iowa, and passed away at Denison, Iowa, on April 25, 1969, at the age of 80.
He attended Kossuth County public schools and was graduated from Iowa State University in 1913 with a degree of D.V.M. He practiced veterinary medicine at Dunlap since that time with the exception of two years spent in the armed forces during World War I.
In 1915, Dr. Moore married Gladys A. Acton. Three children were born of this union, a son and two daughters.

Dr. Moore, a Democrat, served as state representative from Harrison County in the Forty-fifth, Forty-fifth Extra, Forty-sixth, Forty-sixth Extra and Forty-seventh sessions of the General Assembly, and as state senator from Harrison, Monona and Crawford Counties in the Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth sessions of the General Assembly. He also was Secretary of the Senate during the Sixty-first session.
Surviving Dr. Moore are his widow and three children, Dr. R. A. Moore and Mrs. C. W. Byrnes, both of Dunlap, and Mrs. W. L. Johnson of Playa Del Rey, California.
Therefore, Be It Resolved by the Senate of the Sixty-third General Assembly of Iowa: That in the passing of the Honorable Robert G. Moore, the state has lost an honored citizen and a faithful and useful public servant, and the Senate by this resolution would express its appreciation of his service, and tender its sympathy to the members of his family.
