ALSO: The demise of Mrs. Mary Mozee a former resident of Geneva, who was an active figure in social and church affairs for a number of years, came as a great shock to her daughter, Mrs. M. D. Allen of Ohiowa, as well as to her many friends.
Mrs. Mary Josephine Fries Mozee, wife of Dr. George Mozee, deceased was born in Louisville Ky., December 17, 1848. She was married to Dr. George Mozee February 12, 1867 at Covington Ky. In the same year Mrs. Mozee with her husband located at Cavin Rock, Hardin County, Ill., where the doctor practiced sixteen years.
In 1883 they located at Geneva, Neb., making this their permanent home with the exception of about three years 1906 to 1909, when they resided at Fort Collins, Col., the doctor practicing there.
Eight children were born to bless this home, five of whom are living: Charles C. of Los Angeles, Cal., Mrs. Carrie A. Laing of Verona, Neb., Mrs. Agnes E. Allen of Ohiowa, Neb., Walter Roscoe of Hollywood, Cal., and George Everett of Los Angeles, Cal. The three preceding their parents in death are Mrs. Minnie E. Spear, Hattie Alora, and Estella.
Mrs. Mozee was a leading member of the Geneva Christian Church. She and her life companion entertained many a minister in their home, being zealous and untiring in their Christian duties. She was also a member of the Eastern Star, Fraternal Aid and Degree of Honor when a resident of Geneva.
When the deceased first settled in Geneva, there were no telephones and electric lights, but she lived to see the town progress and with its growth enjoyed the many new home conveniences and inventions.
After Dr. Mozee’s death, Mrs. Mozee remained about a year in Geneva when she spent part time with her two daughters, Mrs. Laing at Verona and Mrs. Allen of Ohiowa, with whom she spent two winters.
She had the misfortune to dislocate her hip at Denver about twelve years ago, which disabled her for life. She was never able to discard her crutches. About ten years ago Mrs. Mozee left for Denver, after locating in Los Angeles, making her home with her son Charles until her death which occurred December 12, when she suffered a stroke of paralysis.
Mrs. Mozee was well physically Thanksgiving Day, she was a guest at dinner at her son Roscoe’s home. She ate heartily and expressed herself as having a wonderful time. The Sunday following, she was entertained at her son Everett’s apparently feeling well in every respect.
The following day, Monday, December 1, she complained of a pain in her head which continued a week. Wednesday, December 10, she again complained of a terrible head pain and went to lie down as advised by her son Charles. As she appeared to be resting her son did not disturb her until noon, when he discovered she was seriously ill. Roscoe was summoned and a physician was called. A stroke had paralyzed her brain. She was seized with another stroke at 7 p.m., followed by a very serious one at 2 a.m., from which she never rallied, but peacefully slipped into the sleep of death. Mrs. Mozee died at 4:55 Friday, December 12, at 1627 Echo Park Av., Los Angeles, having attained the age of eighty-one years, 11 months and 26 days.
Funeral services were conducted from the L. G. Scovern Undertaking parlor in Glendale at 2 p.m. Saturday, December 13. The body was cremated and the ashes expressed Tuesday, December 16 to Geneva, Neb., for burial in the Geneva cemetery as requested by her.

She is survived by her five children, an only living brother to their knowledge, N. Fries of Denver, Col., six grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and a large number of acquaintances and friends.
Mrs. Mozee paid a visit to Nebraska three years ago. Two years ago this Christmas, her daughter Mrs. M. D. Allen was at the mother’s home in California, having the pleasure of spending three months there.
In a heart to heart conversation with her daughter, Mrs. Mozee expressed her desire to die. She had lived her life and was ready to go to her eternal home. She was the only daughter of the Fries family, but she had several brothers, N. Fries surviving her.
