Lew Haile (April 25, 1878--March 19, 1961), for whom the county annex building is named, was a Moore County commissioner from 1910 to 1952, the longest tenure thus far for such a local official in Texas. Noel McDade (1882--1979), the first Dumas mayor (1930--1935) served as the Moore County administrative judge from 1935--1945. He was posthumously named ``Citizen of the Century'' in 1992.
