MOOMAW, DAVID L., of Baker City, was born in Botetourt County, Virginia, and came to Oregon in 1858. He lived in Oregon City till 1870, when he settled in Baker City, and has since been a central figure in Republican politics in that county. Since 1872 he has been a delegate to nearly every county convention, and to the state convention from 1878 to 1892. Mr. Moomaw was Deputy Sheriff in 1874 and 1876, and Deputy United States Marshal from 1878 to 1885, and again during Harrison's administration.
