      I am descended from her. She is my grandmother. She died in 1976. My mother has also passed away.
      Would you like the complete information? Are there still McCuistion reunions. I went to the one in East
      Texas and would like to go to more.

The same year he drilled for Oil in Burkbernet then opened a grociery store. in 1919 he opened The Consumer Oil Company. in '20 he opened the first two gas stations and a hardware. He purchased a 5 bedroom home with a servant quarters in 1919. He even owned a new '27 Lincoln Limo. In 1924 he opened the Bank of Commerce in Fredrick and Lawton. Then the crash of '29 took it all. He lost everything and had to mortgage his hime. He returned to farming, an occupation he remained in until his death in 1963. His wife died in 1976. Together they had 12 children. Three of them died under the age of two and one son, Mathis Moore was killed in the battle of Buna in the Phillipiens in 1942. He was a dedicated church of Christ member until his death.
