==Background==

==Background==

Moore was born in Haynesville in northern Claiborne Parish just south of the [[Arkansas]] state line to Arthur Roy Moore (1904–1984), a [[Mississippi]] native known as Roy Moore, and the former Capitola Touchstone (1903–2002) Roy Moore managed the Jitney Jungle grocery outlet in Homer, a since defunct chain store that originated in 1919 in [[Jackson]], [[Mississippi]]. Moore began school in Haynesville, but his family relocated to Homer, where in 1942 he graduated from Homer High School. Capitola Moore was a sister of Sam F. Touchstone (1904–2002), who owned a taxidermy and wildlife museum in Haughton in southern Bossier Parish. Moore was hence a first cousin of [[Ned Touchstone]], an advocacy newspaper publisher and a visible figure among what was called the "Radical Right" in Louisiana during the 1960s. In 1967, Touchstone unsuccessfully challenged the reelection of Louisiana Education Superintendent [[Bill Dodd]]. Arthur and Capitola Moore are interred at Arlington Cemetery in Homer, the seat of Claiborne Parish.<ref name=statement>Bill Hathorn, Interview with Danny Roy Moore, January 5, 2011.</ref>

==Senate service==

At the time of his Senate election and service, Moore still resided in Homer. In the 1963-1964 [[primary]] election cycle, Moore unseated his fellow Democrat, James T. McCalman, also of Homer. He served a single term until 1968. He neither sought reelection nor ran for any other public office before or since his Senate term. Moore's principal emphasis as a senator was to promote the construction of Lake Claiborne, a 6,400-acre man-made body of water near Homer established by the damming of Bayou D'Arbonne.<ref> Danny Roy Moore served country, community at war and in government | News | ktbs.com, Gerry May, August 19, 2016.</ref> The lake is deeper than others of its kind, has a short spillway, and is hence subject to less pollution than most other waterways. To obtain the needed state funding for the project, Moore and state Representative [[John Sidney Garrett]] had to overcome the initial opposition of newly elected [[Governor]] [[John J. McKeithen]], who disbelieved that man-made lakes contribute to economic growth. Lake Claiborne State Parks, known for swimming, fishing, birding, boating, waterskiing, camping, and hiking, opened at the site of the new lake.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crt.state.la.us/parks/iclaiborn.aspx|title=Lake Claiborne State Park|publisher=crt.state.la.us|accessdate=January 6, 2011}}</ref><ref name=thelake/>

From 1948 to 1960, Moore's seat was held by [[William Rainach]] of Summerfield in Claiborne Parish, who was an unsuccessful [[Governor|gubernatorial]] candidate in 1959.  Rainach was defeated by [[Jimmie Davis]], originally from Jackson Parish,  who secured his second nonconsecutive term as governor in that election cycle. After legislative boundaries were altered in 1967 by the federal judiciary, Moore was succeeded in the Senate by [[Charles C. Barham]], an [[attorney]] from Ruston and one of two sons of former Lieutenant Governor [[C. E. "Cap" Barham]]. Charles Barham was first elected in the adjoining district to the east in 1964, and he and Moore were colleagues and friends though they often cast opposite votes in Senate roll calls.<ref name=lasen/><ref name=statement/>
