Born on November 26, 1929, in Oakville on the home place, he was a son of the late Wiley Floyd Moore and Claudie Cash Moore. He lived his entire life on the family farm and his family cherishes the many memories of our grandparents, parents, and many visits from friends and family.

His was given the nickname "T" by his baby brother Claude, who couldn't pronounce Alton, which stuck with him from his youth.

Alton excelled in High School in both football and baseball. He was offered a contract to pitch with the Dodgers organization and was offered both football and baseball scholarships to local colleges. He pitched two years in the Skyline League.

In lieu of a sports career, he chose to marry his high school sweetheart, Elaine Bobbitt Moore, they were married 66 years at her passing, and dedicated their lives to farming and raising their family.
