Here’s a bit of follow-up to some pretty old research: an actual image of Dobie Moore’s WW2 draft card, filled out in Detroit in April, 1942.
Interestingly, there is no mention of Moore's leg injury, although nearly a year and a half later he would appear in a Chicago Defender photo with a pair of crutches, pointing to the ankle where he was shot.
(Chicago Defender, September 11, 1943)
I still don’t know when or where he died; currently the last sighting I have of Moore is an appearance as pallbearer at George Carr’s funeral in Los Angeles in January, 1948 (the other pallbearers included two Hall of Famers, Biz Mackey and Jud Wilson).
His address is about .6 of a mile from present day Comerica Park.
