MRS. MARY JANE MOSER
Mrs. Mary Jane Moser died Friday evening, April 9, 1943, at 8:45 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ray T. Hoberecht in Boonville, Missouri.
Mrs. Moser was born near High Point, Moniteau County, Missouri, on April 24, 1844. She spent her early life in that community and on September 1, 1861, she was married to Dr. Raferel Moser, dentist, who preceded her in death in 1920.
To this union eleven children were born, seven of who survive. They are Mrs. Belle Cotant and Mrs. Tupper Adams, both of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Mrs. Florence McEwen, Los Angeles, Calif.; Dr. H. S. Moser, New Franklin, Missouri; W. F. Moser, Pittsburg, Kansas; R. C. Moser, Oxnard, California; and Mrs. Leota Hoberecht, Boonville, Missouri. The four children who preceded Mrs. Moser in death were: Mrs. Nannie Davis, Trinidad, Colorado; Howard Moser of Sedalia, and Noble and Jewell of Windsor.
Other survivors include 23 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren, and two great, great grandchildren.
Dr. And Mrs. Moser spent their early married life near High Point and at Warsaw, Missouri, later moving to Windsor where the family was reared.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Windsor Baptist Church where Mrs. Moser was a member for many years preceding her death. Services conducted by Rev. E. H. Michalkowsky, pastor of the church. Burial was in Laurel Oak Cemetery.
Mrs. Moser would have been 99 years of age had she lived until April 24. Her health had been good until recently and she looked forward to celebrating her 100th birthday in 1944.
On each birthday for a number of years her granddaughters, Mrs. Louis Greife and Mrs. Logan Sutherland and their families, and her grandsons, Walter and Kenneth Moser of Windsor went to see her at Boonville.
Mrs. Moser went to the school taught by the man who later became her husband. He taught her to spell by syllables and to sing the multiplication table and the states and capitals.
She recalled vividly the mode of life and incidents of early-day Missouri. The pioneer home where wool was carded, cloth spun, garments sewed by hand, after the cloth had been colored by home made dyes. Many of the men's garments were of home-tanned leather. These were buckskin breeches, sheepskin jackets, gloves of dog hide and shoes of cowhide, all made on the farm.
In her younger days there were house and barn-raisings, quilting bees and corn-huskings. Most of the social events tied in with work for there was much to be done in this young state and the implement were crude. Families were large and children early learned labor and responsibility.
Mrs. Moser was one of the few remaining of her day but she found life good and looked forward to more birthday and a century of living.
