Speer, Lucille Farley.Francis Marion Farley and Lulu Cain Farley: their ancestors and descendants. Greenfield, Ind.: unknown publisher, 1973, p 78. Chapter IX. The Mosier Family. Tobias Mosier was born about 1748 of German parentage doubtless in PA. He was living in Orange Co NC later this was Randolpy County during the Revolutionary War. A record used for membership in SAR states that his wife was Nancy Meyers. It is highly possible that he had a marriage before Nancy. Tobias Mosier was still living in NC in 1815 and is show on the tax list as paying taxes on 300 acres on Bush Creek. By 1830 he had followed his son, John Sr to Orange Co IN. The census gives him as a man of 70 to 80 and his wife in the same age group. Since Nancy lived many years after his death, it is probable that she was nearer 70. Nancy Meyers Mosier died in Orange Co IN, "at an advance dage." Tobias Mosier die din Fountain County Indiana and is buried in Rob Roy Cemetery, west of Highway 41 in Shawnee Twp. His government marker reads:
Tobias

Karen,
That's a bit beyond the mission of the Cemetery Commission at this point.
With close to 100 cemeteries in Fountain County needing attention badly and
extremely limited funding (donations only) we have to keep pretty focused on
the immediate task at hand. Great idea though.

Isaac Cook and William Ward, both Revolutionary War patriots were buried
north of the Ward Cemetery east of Covington. The graves were several yards
from the main cemetery, surrounded by an iron fence. The last time I was back
there, the markers and the fence had been moved over into the fencerow by
the cemetery, the graves had been plowed and planted to corn. However, if
anyone has an interest, I do have photos of the graves as they were. They are
not too clear, because they were taken a number of years ago with a poor
camera. I'd be happy to send a scanned copy.

MacDougall, D. J. Scots and Scots' descendants in America. New York: Caledonian Pub. Co., 1917, p 175 (portrait)-- Braxton W. CAMPBELL, one of Cincinnati's most successful manufacturers was born in Covington, Kentucky Nov 22, 1851, the 7th son of Morgan A. and Sallie L (Love) Campbell. His father was born in Ky; his grandfather, William Campbell having removed from near Danville, VA about 1796 and settled in the town of Paris, Bourbon Co KY where he conducted the business of harness and saddle making. Mr. Braxton W. Campbell received his education at the public school of Burlington, Boone Co KY. At age six he was left a double orphan by the death of his father and mother; and after spending his boyhood in KY went to Cincinnati, Ohio and began work as an office boy at five dollars a week. At the end of a year he was put on the road as a travelling salesman and was very successful. At age 23 he went into the saddlery business as an employee and travelling salesman, and at 26 established the firm of Perkins-Campbell Co, Cincinnati of which he is President. Mr. Campbell's firm is the largest manufacturer of harness and saddlery in the world. It has extensive branches in chicao, Milwaukee & NY and durin gthe European war, 1914-1917, did an immense business in army supplies for the Allies, furnishing saddles and harness to the value of more than $8,000,000. Mr. Campbell is a member of the Methodist Episcopa church and is much respected by his fellow citizens and employees. He is an active member of many societies, clubs, and fraternal orders - the Caledonian Society of Cincinnati, the Masonic fraternity and social, business, political and religious organizations too numerous to mention. Mr. Campbell married March 13, 1884, Miss Hattie DeGarmo. They have two sons, Wendel B, born June 10, 1886 and Milton D, born Oct 5, 1888 both associated with their father in the Perkins-Campbell Company. Mr. Campbell's address is 2333 Kemper Lane, Cincinnati his business address 622-626 Broadway, Cincinnati, Ohio.

Goss, Charles Frederic.Cincinnati, the Queen City : 1788-1912. Chicago: S.J. Clarke Pub. Co., 1912, p. 265 -- None among the civilized countries has made such rapid progress in the field of invention and manufacture as has America. Her prominence in this regard is uniformly acknowledged and her reputation has ben won by such companies as the Perkins-Campbell Company and other important industrial and manufacturing concerns, for the Perkins-Campbell Company is today the larges, harness, riding saddle and horse collar manufactory in the world, the play being located at No. 622-626 Broadway. Braxton W. Campbell was born in Kenton Co, Ky Nov 22, 1851. His life record, like that of every other man whose success has been honorably achieved, cannot fail to prove of interest as showing the methods that have been employed in the attainment of prosperity. At all times the course he has followed has been open and above-board and the secret of his success is found in close application, unwearied industry and unfaltering commercial integrity. His father, Morgan Campbell was an early merchant tailor of Covington, and Braxton W. Campbell was reared in Boone Co Ky his educational opportunities being those afforded by the public schools, with subsequently a course in the Morgan Academy of that county, which institution of learning was named in honor of his father, Morgan Campbell. In the year 1870, when a youth of 19, Braxton W. Campbell came to Cincinnati and accepted a position as traveling salesman with Reinhart & Renner, confectioners. He later became traveling salesman for DeCamp, LeVoy & Company, saddlers, and thus his atteniton was directed toward the line of busines in which he is now engaged. On 1 Jan 1879, thep resent Perkins-Campbell Company had its origin being established by HA Perkins, WS Perkins and Braxton W.Campbell. From the outset the new enterprise prospered, enjoying a gradual but substantial growth and in 1892 it was incorporated. For five years after the inception of the business, Mr. Campbell remained upon the road as traveling salesman and to the present time has had charge of the sales force. It was gradualy due to his ability in this direction in the early years, when the goods of the house were being introduced and later to his management of the sales department that the company has gained its present measure of success. The company occupy their entire brick block, a building seven stories in height with basement at Nos. 622-626 Broadway, together with two large brick buildings at the rear of their block, oneo f which is 7 stories in height and the other 4. They have altogehter about 90,000 square feet of floor space,The present officers of the company are: BW Campbell, president; FH Perkins, VP; HE DeCamp, treasurer; and WB Campbell, sec; his original partners having retired from the business in July 1905. They had all been connect with DeCamp, Levoy & Co prior to the organization of Perkins-Campbell Company and were thus well trained through practical experience for the conduct of the business. The present buildings utilized by the company are equipped with modern machinery and their business extends throughout the US, South America and foreign countries, while the growth of their trade makes their enterprise the largest manufactory of harness, riding saddles, horse collars, etc in the world. Aside from his interset in Perkins-Campbell Co Mr. Campbell is a director of the Cincinati & Louisville Packet Co and director of the Cincinnati & Columbus Traction Co. He is widely recognized as a man of resourceful business ability and in his vocabulary there is no such word as fail. he recognizes the fact that determination and energy are the basis of success and his labors have at all times been actuated by sound judgment that has led tot he gratifying growth of the business. Mr. Campbell has been married twice. He first wedded Miss Ada DeGarmo, who died in Covington KY and later wedded her sister, Miss Hattie DeGarmo. By this marriage there are two children, Wendell B. and Milton D. Mr. Campbell is well known in Maosnic circles, holding membership with the blue lodge, the chapter, the commandery and the consistory. his sons are also 32nd degree Masons and members of the Mystic Shrine. Mr. Campbell exemplified in his life the beneficent spirit of the craft, which recognizes the brotherhood of mankind. In all of his business career there has never been anything of the overbearing taskmaster in him. He has himself worked up from the ranks and is ever willing to extend a helping hand to others who are attempting similar endeavor. He is quick to recognize marked abilit and faithfulness on the part of his employees and to award it by promotion as opportunity favors. He enjoys the confidence and good will of colleagues and business associates and those whom he meets socially also entertain for him a warm regard.

The New York Times July 17, 1894 -- Teere Haute, Ind July 16 - Edward Holloway, aged 30 of Crawfordsville, Ind the prisoner under arrest here for wrecking the NY express ont he Big Four at Fontanet, Thursday night, resulting in the death of Engineer Moehrman of Indianapolis and Fireman Fleck of Mantoon confessed tonight. He sayd there were 7 or 8 others concerned in it besides himself. They were all miners. As he was a stranger at Fonanet he does now know them. They broke the switches' lock with a hammer and threw the swich an inch or two. they were figuring on a freight train coming along first, and they hid in the grass to watch the result. When they saw the through passenger train rusing down to the gully at the rate of 40 miles an hour, one of them said, "Well, it does not make a bit of difference if a couple of scabs are killed." After the wreck Holloway said he fled and walked all the way to Rockville where he was arrested on suspicion, because while he was listening to Isaac Davis reading an account of the wreck in the morning paper, he said, "that wasn't the way it occurred," and he told it in detail. Holloway is a State militia man being a member of the Crawfordsville cmpany of Indiana Legion. He hired as a non-union man to the big Four and deserted immediately tot he strikers. The Big Four had offered $1000 reward. The confession was made to Lamb & Brasley, attorneys for the road and SHeriff Stout.
The New York Times Oct 25, 1883 -- Crawfordsville, Ind Oct 24 - John MURPHY who was found dead with three bullet wounds in his body this morning at Wallace a small village 20 miles west of this place. He was known to have had several thousand dollars last night which has not been found and it is supposed that he was murdered for his money. the murderer stole ahorse and mad ehis escape. The horse returned today. There is no clue to the murderer.
===========
Waveland Independent, Friday, June 15, 1905 -- It is reported that Charley Roberts now in the Nebraska penitentiary, has confessed to the murder of John Murphy at Wallace in 1882. He says that he was assited by Scott Sutherlin, Bill Irvin and a Veedersburg saloon keeper. Irvin is now doing time at Michigan City for stealing horses. Roberts was born in Waveland in the house now owned by Sant Moody. He was always a tough character and has been engaged in many desperate enterprises. His parents were good people and as long as they lived, he never failed to visit them at intervals although he risked his liberty to do so. A brother, James Roberts was highly respected. Mrs. Sarah macintosh, of Crawfordsville is his sister. Suspicion fell on him at the time of Murphy's murder bu tnothing could be proved. His discovery was accidental as no one here knew where he was. A Ben Hur detective was looking for another person and recognized him. What his motive could be for confessing to a crime that will deprive him of all hpe of future liberty is not known.
OH THANKS -- goes perfectly with my story :)

I'm working on a murder mystery that is based on a true happening here in Montgomery County. The family were Lutherans. Would they have had a typical Christmas pageant around 1900?
Rockville Republican July 23, 1936 --Among those from this vicinity who attended the funeral service of Cortez Woody, a victim of the intense heat, were Mr. and Mrs Edgar Woody, TB Woody, Joe L. Swaim, Mrs. Sara N Tomlinson and Mrs. Alice N. Maris. The service was held in Rush Creek Friends Church. Thursday forenoon of last week.
Rockville Republican Thursday Aug 17, 1933 -- Martha Ann oldest of four daughters of Nathan and Susannah Harvey Lindley was born on what became known as the Ransom Osborn place about half a mile west of the Rushcreek Friends church on Jan 16, 1855 and departed this life 78 1/2 years later at Lake View hospital, Danville, Illinois. When just a child she went to live in the home of her grandparents, Thomas and Mary Lindley from whose original gobvernment land grant in 1826 this church lot was deeded to the RUshcreek Friends just 100 years ago in 1833. She was a birthright member of this church in whose work she has awlays been actively engaged. After her early education at Rushcreek school and Bloomingdale academy she was graduated from Indiana State NOrmal School in 1884, and interspersed 40 years of teaching with several terms of graduate work in the same institution. Although she retired from the active educational profession in 1911, she never retired from a keen, alert ineterest in the intellectual advancement made thru the years. She was married to Elwood Fremon Jackson March 14, 1885 and until his death in 1925, they maintained their home for 40 year sin Sylvania. She is survived by two daughters, Jean of Monreal, Canada and Grace of Cleveland, Oh; one sister, Harriet E. Cates of Kingman; two half sisters, Lydia Dinsmore and Elva Moore of Washington stat eand one half brother, Levi Woody of Carnation, Alberta, Canada.. Besides her increasing interest and participation in educational, ivic and religious devlopments she had an innate love of music. This was evidenced early in her girlhood when she earned enough to purchase one of the first organs within the strick boundaries of this early Quaker community. That appreciation of music was fostered by her study of the worlds' greatest music and was afforded complete enjoyment in the opportuniaties to see and hear great symphony orchestras in such favorites of hers as Beethoven's 5th Symphony and the well beloved music from Lohengrin. Always alert to keep abreast of the times in all phases of progressive activity, one of the greatest sources of pleasure and solace to herself, and one which was generaously shared with others was her diligent study and interpretation of the Bible. In whatever environment she found herslef, she sought out congenial and progressive church and SUnday school affiliations and enthusiastically participated in their work. Her mmoden views of life and its religious adaptation have been the crowning achievement of her years and when her desire for release from physical infirmiteis was voiced, it came as a natural culminationn to a happy journeys end, which as a poet of the Old Testament says; When man goeth to his long home and the mourners go about the streets or ever the silver cord be loose or the golden bowl be broken or the pitcher be broken at the fountain or the wheel broken at the cistern then shall the dust return to earth as it was and the spirit return to god who gave it.
