==Background==
==Background==
A [[Baton Rouge]] native, Moore was the granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin Bryan, a former Baton Rouge [[mayor]], who served during the 1880s. Her father was the warden of the Louisiana State Penitentiary until he was dismissed in a dispute with then [[Governor]] [[Huey Long|Huey Pierce Long, Jr.]] Moore spent her early years growing up at the manager's residence when the penitentiary was in Baton Rouge, instead of the present site at [[rural]] Angola in West Feliciana Parish, near St. Francisville. She was frequently in contact with prisoners, who grew the food required to operate the penitentiary.<ref name=moore>{{cite web|url=
