Kate Moore - El Paso, Texas

Kate Moore - El Paso, Texas
Francis Marion Moore, Kate’s father, began to suffer from rheumatism beginning in the early 1870s, and he decided to move the family to warm, sunny El Paso when Kate was 14. Skilled in playing the piano and in vocal music, she entered the newly created high school, a part of the first public educational institution, Central School, located at Campbell Street and Mrytle Avenue. Kate Moore would not only make her mark in becoming one of the first two graduates of the high school, but she would greatly influence the city’s musical development and cultural growth. http://epcc.libguides.com/content.php?pid=309255&sid=3229260
