MOSHER.-- Mr. Sidney Mosher was born at Poplar Ridge, Cayuga County, New York, in 1826. He departed this life June 21, 1889.
He was a man of great energy, and in the earlier part of his life this led to his traveling quite a large portion of the Earth in search of wealth and happiness, and he was very successful in his search. After an absence of some years he returned to Poplar Ridge something over thirty years ago and engaged in mercantile business, in which he continued until his death. Although he was very successful as a merchant, yet his powers were such that he sought a larger field of operation, and through his energy and recognized ability he soon became prominent in the management of several bank interests and express companies, and lately he took quite an extended interest in farming.
In March 1859, he was united in matrimony with Miss Carrie Beebe, a very estimable young lady, who has proved to be a helpmate indeed. They had four sons and three daughters, all of whom survive him except the oldest daughter, Kittie, who preceded him in Paradise. Notwithstanding the diversity of interests and multiplicity of responsibilities and a most unprecedented success in the things of the world, he was too noble to be satisfied with the things of Earth, too great to be compassed by them, too high to be overshadowed by them, too wise to be ensnared by them and too generous to be overcome by them. Hence he desired a "better country" and sought for the "true riches."
Although a moral man, he never made a complete surrender to God of his all until about twelve years ago, when under the ministrations of Rev. F. M. Warner and Rev. P. T. Hughston, he was led to see the need of the converting and saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ, and, as was characteristic of the man, when he saw and believed he acted, and was gloriously converted. But owing to the fact that there was no church at Poplar Ridge, he did not formally unite with any church until about five years ago, when he presented himself as a candidate for membership in the Methodist Episcopal church, and I had the honor as his pastor, of receiving him and his beloved wife into the church. Although he delayed in formally uniting with the church, he did not delay in doing the work of the church, as all those who labored with him will testify. He has served in the capacity of trustee, steward and Sunday-school superintendent, and although never licensed as a local preacher, yet in the absence of the pastor he has addressed the congregation to their gratification and edification, and in all his church relations he manifested the same tact and ability as in business matters.
Thus engaged, he labored until a few minutes before his departure. On the morning of the 21st he attended to all the details of his business until 10 1/2 o'clock, when he excused himself to seek rest in sleep, and, as was his custom, he lay down to sleep. He never awoke in this world, having been stricken with apoplexy, he passed with scarcely a struggle from labor to reward. He was courteous and entertaining as a gentleman, true, loyal and loving as a friend, devoted as a parent, faithful as a husband and earnest in his Christian life. We might justly say of him as a Paul, "More abundant in labors than they all." A man who could not stoop to treachery, too charitable to be easily prejudiced, too sympathetic to be harsh, too broad in his observations to be deceived by "cant" or changed from a friend to a foe by some of the smaller imperfections of mankind. But our pen fails us to describe such a character; a character gifted by nature, developed by activity, perfected by divine grace, exalted through Christian fellowship and made glorious through the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. But while we feel our loss and keenly realize our loneliness, we rejoice in the hope of a re-union around the throne of God, where parting shall be no more.
