Biographical Note
U. S. National Forest Ranger and rancher Clyde P. Moose was raised in Agnes, Texas. After moving with his family to Dallas at the age of eighteen, Moose worked on a cow ranch in Odessa until his marriage to Ruby Taylor five years later. In 1922, the couple moved to Williams, Arizona, where he was employed at a sawmill. A year later, Moose passed a Civil Service Exam and was appointed District Forest Ranger. Following his retirement in 1954, he returned briefly to Agnes, before building a home in Azle, Texas.
