Donation benefits paleontologists
By DeNEEN BROWN Staff Reporter
Lilian Moore was frugal. She made shirts, patched sheets and saved pennies, and when she died last October, she left $1 million to the University of Kansas Paleontology Institute.
She was not a paleontologist or a geologist. She stood in the shadow of her husband, Raymond C. Moore, who was chairman of the KU department of geology and one of the world's leading geologists.
William W. Hambleton, director of the Kansas Geological Survey, said Friday at a memorial celebration to honor Lilian Moore that paleozoic geology should learn to appreciate her as much as they appreciated her husband
Raymond Moore died in 1974, and Lillian Moore died Oct. 2, 1984. Together they left more than $1 million to establish the Raymond C. Moore Foundation in Paleontology to support the University of Kansas Palmettum Institute

sociation Board of Trustees, announced the final distribution of the endowed gift Friday.
Income from the endowment will support the publication of the "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology." The treatise, an encyclopedia of fossils, is published by the KU Paleontological Institute and the Geological Society of America, in Boulder, Colo.
Richard A. Robison, director of the institute and Gulf Oil-Hedberg distinguished professor at KU, said the treatise was valuable to the petroleum industry in its search for rocks containing oil.
Robison said continued publication of the treatise probably would have prevented the Moore estate. Raymond Moore first published the treatise in 1948.
Hambleton said that although Lilian Moore had stood in the shadow of her husband, her work had emerged from his shadow to produce a gift that would not have been established without her.
"Has it ever occurred to you to wonder how a University of Kansas professor, who died in 1974, could possibly leave an estate. of $1
million” he asked. “I know from old correspondence that his salary was $3,000 when he came to the University of Kansas and I know his closing salary was not exorbient in today’s terms.”
Hambleton said Raymond Moore was prone to excessive spending.
"I truly believe that without Lilian, the Raymond and Lilian Moore Trust Funds would not have come into being," he said.
"She made Ray's shirts and patched sheets until they were almost all patches. She carefully husbanded resources and invested savings in some of the most blue chip stocks around."

"Ray generated the resources," he said, "but paleontologists at the University of Kansas should know and be grateful that a tough minded and frugal lady of generous spirit, named Lilian Boggs Moore, was available for the financial support that they will realize in the years ahead."
