description Oil had recently been discovered on his property. From a clipping in the Birmingham News: "Farmer Moye goes ahead with his Spring plowing" / "Back to plowing - Farmer Allen Moye was busy breaking land today, getting it ready for planting corn.

The 39-year-old Escambia County native showed no excitement about the black gold that soon will be flowing from a well in a cotton patch."
