Malouf Abraham, Sr.
Malouf Abraham, Sr., also known as Oofie Abraham (July 26, 1915 – May 30, 1994), was an American businessman, investor, politician, and philanthropist. He was a self-made Texas multi-millionaire in the oil and natural gas business and a political and civic leader from Canadian, the county seat of Hemphill County in the northeastern Texas Panhandle. He made his fortune in part by leasing mineral rights throughout the eastern Panhandle adjacent to Oklahoma.
==Background==
Abraham was the son of Nahim Abraham and Alia Abraham (1885–1979), resourceful immigrants from the village of Kafarakab in Lebanon who came to the United States through Ellis Island in New York City. The senior Abrahams first lived in Amarillo but then launched in 1913 a department store called the "Fair Store" in Canadian.〔 They lived frugally in the back of the store until 1938, when they purchased what is now the fourth-generation Abraham family home.
Abraham graduated from Canadian High School when he was fourteen and attended Texas Tech University in Lubbock for three years thereafter, but did not graduate. With an older brother, he got involved in a variety of business ventures and ended up with oil and gas holdings, besides owning and operating a restaurant in Canadian and selling insurance.
Abraham entered the U.S. Army for only eight months in 1945, and was exempt from overseas duty because he had three young children.
