Della Moore

Della Moore (1880-1926?), also known as Annie Rogers or Maude Williams, was a woman working as a prostitute during the closing years of the Old West, best known as being the girlfriend of outlaw Harvey Logan (Kid Curry), who rode with Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch gang.

Early life, life with Curry

Little is known about Moore's early years. She is believed to have been born around 1880, in Texas near El Paso. She was pretty, with a petite build, and also began working in brothels in San Antonio around the age of 15. By 1899 she was working in the famous brothel of Madame Fannie Porter, having met and becoming involved with Curry some time around mid-1898. She would help hide Curry after his robberies, and often helped him resupply before he would leave again.

By 1900 Moore had left prostitution and began traveling with Curry, who was between robberies. The two travelled to Tennessee, where they met up with other members of the gang, to include Ben Kilpatrick and Laura Bullion. On October 14th, 1901, Moore was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee for passing notes associated with an earlier robbery Curry had committed. She and Curry never saw one another again. She was jailed, but was later acquitted on June 18th, 1902.
