     Anna F. Holliday was born on 10 December 1867 in Winterset, Madison Co., Iowa.⁴ She married William Henry Powless, son of Paul Powles and Sarah Jane Mosher, on 25 December 1887 in Como, Park Co., Colorado.² She died on 22 June 1937 at age 69.⁵ She was buried at Green Mountain Cemetery (Sect. C, Row D, Grave 28) in Boulder, Boulder Co., Colorado.⁵
     She and her husband William are listed in Alma, Park Co., Colorado, in the censuses from 1900 to 1920. Their grand-nephew Clyde Haring, son of William's niece Kittie (Kline) Haring, was living with them in 1900.
     In 1910 Claude, Clarence, and Maude Powless, ages 16, 14, and 8, are listed with them as their children, and Anna is listed as having had three children, all then living. This is apparently wrong. No other records have been found for them, they aren't listed with William and Anna in 1900, and Anna is listed in 1900 as having no children. William's and Anna's ages are also significantly wrong (listed as 54 and 51, when they were actually 57 and 42), and the birth places for William and his parents are wrong (listed as Kansas for William, and Ohio and Kansas for his parents, when it should be New Jersey for William, and New Jersey and New York for his parents). Perhaps someone who didn't know the family well supplied the information.^6,1,7
     In June 1913 she graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Colorado in Boulder, Boulder Co., with an A.B. degree, having enrolled 4 1/2 years earlier at age 40. She also accumulated 15 hours toward an M.A. degree.⁸
     She and William moved to Boulder in 1922⁹, and are listed there in the 1930 census.¹⁰ She was serving as an Alma Co. superintendent in 1920, and as social services secretary in Boulder in 1930.^1,7

     Lydia Irena Powless was born on 15 August 1856¹, and baptized on 26 November 1856 in Schraalenburgh (now Dumont), Bergen Co., New Jersey.¹ She was buried at Tappan Cemetery in Tappan, Rockland Co., New York.²

     Charles H. Mosher was born on 1 September 1852 in Lenox Twp., Ashtabula Co., Ohio.^3,4 He married Jennie E. Nearing, daughter of Lucius A. Nearing, in 1877 in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., New York.^5,6,3 He died on 11 June 1927 in Richmond, Virginia, at age 74, possibly from a stroke.³ He was buried on 13 June 1927 at Oakwood Cemetery (Section 53, Plot 133) in Syracuse.^3,7

     About 1907 he moved to Richmond, Virginia, leaving his wife behind in Syracuse. He lived there the rest of his life under the name Charles E. Cortland, making occasional visits back to Syracuse, and worked in the office of the Commissioner of Accounts for the city of Richmond. Why he changed his name is unknown.⁵
     A few days before his death he wrote his wife telling her his health was failing.⁵

     Laura Isabel Coleman was born on 25 September 1851 in Seneca Falls, Seneca Co., New York.^3,4,5 She married George Alfred Mosher, son of William Henry Mosher and Margaret Euphenia Thayer, on 17 September 1874.^6,1 She died on 30 October 1942 at her daughter Margaret's home in Upper Montclair, Essex Co., New Jersey, at age 91.⁵ She was buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., New York.^3,7
     As a young child she moved with her father to a plantation near Richmond, Virginia, and at age eight began teaching slaves in the area, angering their neighbors. Shortly before the Civil War their house was burned, and the family returned to Seneca Falls.⁵
     After their marriage she and her husband George settled in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., New York.⁵ They are listed there in the 1875 census, living as boarders with Eugene Vanhosen and his wife.⁸ They soon moved into their own home, and were listed with their children in Syracuse in the 1880 federal census and the 1892 state census. In 1880 Laura's brother Herbert was living with them, and they had a servant.^9,10
     In 1900 the family moved to Oberlin, Lorain Co., Ohio.¹¹ In the 1900 census, perhaps in the middle of their move, George and their son Clifford were listed as roomers in the home of Lucy Seymour in Buffalo, Erie Co., New York,¹² while Laura and the other children were living in the home of Clara Hannon in Chautauqua, Chautauqua Co., New York.⁴ In 1905 George was named superintendent of the Lorain County Children's Home in Oberlin¹, and they are listed living there at the Children's Home in the 1910 and 1920 censuses. George's widowed mother Margaret was living with them in 1910.^13,14
     She was still living in Oberlin, on her own, when she was enumerated in the 1930 census just two months after her husband's death¹⁵, but by 1935 had moved in with her daughter Margaret and her family in Montclair, Essex Co., New Jersey, and is listed with them there in the 1940 census.¹⁶

     Jennie E. Nearing was born on 25 September 1854 in Rochester, Monroe Co., New York.⁴ She married Charles H. Mosher, son of William Henry Mosher and Margaret Euphenia Thayer, in 1877 in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., New York.^2,1,5 She died on 28 January 1935 at her home in Syracuse at age 80^1,4, and was buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Syracuse.⁴
     She and her husband Charles, and their one-year-old daughter Mary, are listed in the 1880 census living with Jennie's parents in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., New York.⁶ They later lived in New York City for a time, and are listed there in Manhattan in the 1900 census as two of 14 boarders living with Mary Reniff.⁷ After a short time living in Boston, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts,² they were back in Syracuse by 1905, again living with Jennie's parents.³
     About 1907 her husband Charles moved to Richmond, Virginia, leaving her behind in Syracuse. He lived there the rest of his life under the name Charles E. Cortland, making occasional visits back to Syracuse. Why he changed his name is unknown.² She received a letter from him a few days before his death saying his health was failing.²
     After her husband moved to Richmond she lived in Syracuse with her brother George and his family from at least 1910 to 1925. In the census she was listed as married in 1910, but as a widow in 1920 even though her husband was still living.^8,9,10 She's listed on her own in Syracuse in the 1930 census, probably after her brother's death.¹¹

     He graduated in 1898 from Oberlin College in Oberlin, Lorain Co., Ohio, with an A.B. degree.⁶ He continued his studies at Syracuse University in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., New York, during the 1899-1900 school year, and was a member of the 1900 baseball team, but left without graduating.⁷
     He moved to Butte, Silver Bow Co., Montana, about 1901, where he was a newspaper reporter and sports editor for the Anaconda Standard, the Butte Inter Mountain, and the News.⁸ He was a gifted athlete, and while living in Butte was the 1909/10 state tennis champion in both singles and doubles.⁹
     He and his wife Aimee are listed in Butte in the 1910 census.¹⁰ In January 1911 they moved to Beeville, Bee Co., Texas, where he had taken a job managing one of the largest ranches in the state.⁸
     They left there about 1919, moving to Houston, Harris Co., Texas,¹ where they are listed in the 1920 and 1930 censuses.^11,12 He was working as an editor of a small magazine in 1920, and as an ad writer in 1930.

Camp and Amelia Babb, on 20 June 1905 at the bride's parents' home in Akron, Summit Co., Ohio. They had met about two years earlier in Germany, while William was studying at the university in Berlin and Laura was touring Europe.^1,6,7 He died unexpectedly of a heart attack on 1 June 1945 at age 67, while visiting at the home of his son Frederick C. Mosher in Alexandria, Virginia.^8,5
     He graduated from Oberlin College in Oberlin, Lorain Co., Ohio, in 1899, then taught German at the Oberlin Academy from 1899 to 1902.⁵ In 1900 he was living in Oberlin as a lodger with Edwin Lowry and his wife.⁹
     He spent the next two years in Germany, studying at the universities in Berlin and Halle, and graduated with his Ph.D. from the University of Halle in 1904.⁵ Upon returning to the U.S. he joined the faculty at Oberlin College as an associate professor of German.^4,5
     Immediately after their marriage he and his wife Laura left for Thuringia, a state in central Germany, where he had accepted a year-long teaching position.^10,11 He rejoined the faculty at Oberlin College when they returned to the U.S., and served as chair of the German department from 1907 to 1918. He became known as one of the country's premiere German scholars, and wrote several German-language books.⁵
     He changed his career focus in 1918, working for government organizations in New York City, and at the federal level in Washington, D.C. He became known as an expert in political science, especially as it relates to local government, and served on several national commissions and surveys.⁵
     In 1924 he moved to Syracuse University in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., New York, to open the Maxwell School (now the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs), the first of its kind in the U.S. He served as the school's dean from its opening until his death in 1945.^5,12
     From 1933 to 1936 he served as president of Oberlin Alumni Association, and in 1940 was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree.⁵
     He and his wife Laura are listed in Oberlin, Lorain Co., Ohio, in the 1910 census.¹³, in Bethesda, Montgomery Co., Maryland, in 1920¹⁴, and in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., New York, from 1925 to 1940.^15,16,17

     She graduated from Akron High School in Akron, Summit Co., Ohio, attended the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Oberlin, Lorain Co., Ohio,⁵ and later graduated from the conservatory of music in Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois.²
     Immediately after their marriage she and her husband William left for Thuringia, a state in central Germany, where he had accepted a year-long teaching position.^6,7
     She and William are listed in Oberlin, Lorain Co., Ohio, in the 1910 census.⁸, in Bethesda, Montgomery Co., Maryland, in 1920⁹, and in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., New York, from 1925 to 1940.^10,11,12

     Clifford Coleman Mosher was born on 6 August 1879 in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., New York.^1,2 He married Susan D. Drake on 18 June 1901 in Syracuse.³ He died on 4 November 1939 at the Veteran's Administration Hospital at Fort Whipple, Yavapai Co., Arizona, at age 60 from pancreatic cancer.¹ He was buried on 9 November 1939 at Santa Fe National Cemetery (Section T, Grave 106) in Santa Fe, Santa Fe Co., New Mexico.⁴
     He served in the U.S. Army during the Spanish-American War, enlisting on 11 July 1898 at Syracuse, New York, as a corporal in Company A, 203rd New York Infantry. He was promoted to sergeant on 22 February 1899, and discharged with his company on 25 March 1899 at Greenville, South Carolina.^5,6
     He is listed with his father George in the 1900 census, living as roomers in the home of Lucy Seymour in Buffalo, Erie Co., New York.⁷
     He and his wife Susan lived in Niagara Falls, Niagara Co., New York, from at least 1905 to 1910. Susan's mother Sara was living with them in 1905.^8,9 He was working as a purchasing agent in 1905 and as an office cashier in 1910.
     They moved to Lima, Allen Co., Ohio, about 1915^10,11 where he joined the East Iron and Machine Co., which was then manufacturing shells for use in World War I.¹¹ He and Susan are listed in Lima in the 1920 census.¹⁰
     By 1920 the company was having financial problems, and unable to pay a debt owed to the Bass Foundry and Machine Co. in Indiana. Bass Foundry filed a petition in court asking that a receiver be appointed to manage the East Iron's assets. On 16 September Clifford Mosher, then serving as vice president and general manager, was appointed as receiver. The company was found to have assets of about $716,000, and liabilities of just under $250,000. An attorney for East Iron said that the company was in satisfactory condition, that the appointment of a receiver would allow it to continue in business, and that a reorganization plan was being discussed.¹²
     The company recovered, and a little over two years later, in January 1923, the receivers (a second had later been appointed, in addition to Mosher) were discharged from their responsibilities, returning control of the company's assets to management. The judge commended the receivers for their handling of their duties, and Mosher stated that the company was "on the threshold of the most prosperous era of its history."¹³
     Mosher was later named president of the company, and July 1924 he announced that a deal had been made with Auto Eez Manufacturing of Houston, Texas, and that Auto Eez would be moving their headquarters to Lima. Auto Eez had invented a shock absorber for high-end cars, with East Iron under contract to manufacture them. The deal was expected to expand East Iron's work force by 125.¹⁴
     The company continued to have financial problems, however. The Bass Foundry and Machine Co., who had filed the 1920 petition for appointment of a receiver, apparently filed suit against East Iron, and on 15 April 1927 the court ordered that all the real and personal estate of the company be sold.¹⁵
     In 1930 he and Susan are listed in the census living at the Carlton Hotel in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., California, and no occupation is listed for him.¹⁶ He was living in Phoenix, Maricopa Co., Arizona, in 1937.¹⁷

     Susan D. Drake was born on 30 September 1878 in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., New York.^2,3 She married Clifford Coleman Mosher, son of George Alfred Mosher and Laura Isabel Coleman, on 18 June 1901 in Syracuse.¹ She died on 18 August 1941 in Pasadena, Los Angeles Co., California, at age 62.^4,5,3 She was buried at Oakwood Cemetery (Section 48, Plot 390) in Syracuse.⁶

     On 11 February 1904, while traveling by train to Butte, Silver Bow Co., Montana, for a visit (her brother Alfred was then living there), her Great Northern train crashed into the rear of a freight train at Pennock, Kandiyohi Co., Minnesota. Two people were killed, but she was apparently not hurt, at least not seriously.⁵
     She apparently liked it in Butte, and either decided to stay, or quickly returned after her 1904 visit. She's listed in the 1905 and 1906 Butte city directories living with her brother Alfred and working as a telephone operator.⁶ In June 1906 she moved back to Oberlin, Lorain Co., Ohio, where her parents were living, along with her friend Rose Hoskings, who would be studying music for a year at the Oberlin Conservatory.⁷ They returned to Butte in September 1907.⁸ She was still in Montana in 1911, living in Great Falls, Cascade Co., working as a stenographer in the offices of the B. and M. Smelter Co.⁹ She left there about a year later, in September 1912, to join her friend Rose in Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois. A news article noted that she wasn't expected to return to Montana.¹⁰ In 1916 she was working Chicago as a private secretary for a wholesale chair company.³
     From at least 1930 to 1940 she ran the Silver Birches Hotel at Lake Ronkonkoma in Brookhaven, Suffolk Co., New York, along with Mable Elliott, first as manager, then as partner. The hotel was established in 1922 and featured housekeeping apartments and a restaurant. They are listed there together in the censuses, with fifteen lodgers in 1930, and seven in 1940.^11,12,13
     She is listed in Bellport, Suffolk Co., New York, in the 1950 census, and was then working part time as a librarian in a Christian Science reading room. Mable Elliott was still with her, as a lodger, along with Carrie C. Colburn, listed as a partner, and Ida May Rawsthorne, another lodger.¹⁴ In May 1955 she and Ida Rawsthorne moved to Patchogue Shores, a private community in East Patchogue, Suffolk Co.¹⁵

Mosher in Oberlin, Lorain Co., Ohio.^1,2 She died on 17 June 1946 at home in Upper Montclair, Essex Co., New Jersey, at age 61.²
     She graduated in 1906 from Oberlin College in Oberlin, Lorain Co., Ohio, and immediately began working with the Y.W.C.A., a relationship that continued the rest of her life, including service as a national board member.²
     After her marriage she moved to her husband's home in Montclair, Essex Co., New Jersey,² and they are listed there together in the censuses, at 41 Bradford Ave., from 1920 to 1940. They had two servants in 1930 and in 1940, and Margaret's widowed mother Laura lived with them from at least 1935 until her death in 1942.^5,6,7
     During World War I she served with the Montclair Ration Board as chair of volunteers, and with the Red Cross as a canteen worker and hospital volunteer. She was active with several social welfare organizations, including the Montclair Convalescent Home for Children, where she served as president, and the Children's Society of Montclair, where she was a trustee. She was also involved with many civic, church, and social groups, including the League of Women Voters, the National Women's Conference for the Cause and Cure of War, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, and the National Recreation Association.²

     Charles Alexander Capron was born on 7 December 1886 in Walden, Orange Co., New York.² He married Margaret Eleanor Mosher, daughter of George Alfred Mosher and Laura Isabel Coleman, on 24 August 1915 at the home of the bride's brother Prof. William E.

     He studied engineering for a year at Columbia University in New York City, then switched to law, and graduated cum laude from New York Law School in Manhattan in 1910.⁵ He was admitted to the New York bar that same year², and moved to Montclair, Essex Co., New Jersey, in 1911.⁵ He and his wife Margaret are listed at 41 Bradford Ave. in Montclair in the censuses from 1920 to 1940. They had two servants in 1930 and in 1940, and Margaret's widowed mother Laura lived with them from at least 1935 until her death in 1942.^6,7,8 He continued to live there after his wife's death in 1946, until his own death in 1955.^9,2
     He began practicing law with the firm of Turner, Rolstan, and Horan in New York City, eventually becoming a partner with its successor firm of Mitchell, Capron, Marsh, Angulo, and Cooney.² He was considered an authority on trust law and estate administration.⁵
     He was a member of many civic, legal, and charity organizations, locally in Montclair, state-wide in New Jersey and New York, and nationally. He served as chairman of the Montclair Planning Board from 1944 until his death; as a trustee of the Montclair Community Chest, the Montclair Art Association, and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra; as president of the New Jersey League of Nations Association; as director of the New York County Lawyers Association; and as vice president for trust law of the American Bar Association.²

     Charles Andrus Mosher was born on 11 March 1888 in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., New York.^3,1 He married Bessie Virginia Furtney, daughter of John D. McFann and Mertie Mills, on 20 May 1913 in Tacoma, Pierce Co., Washington.^4,5,6 He died on 30 November 1972 in Alameda Co., California, at age 84.⁷ He was buried at Rose Hills Memorial Park (Santa Clara, Gate 17, Section 9, Tier AA, Crypt 2205) in Whittier, Los Angeles Co., California.⁸
     He worked for Goodyear based in Akron, Summit Co., Ohio, but represented the company at several places throughout the country during his career.^2,9,10
     His 1913 marriage record gives his residence as Oberlin, Lorain Co., Ohio, although he was married in Tacoma, Pierce Co., Washington⁴, and his son Winston was born in Washington about 1914.¹¹ He was living in Aberdeen, Brown Co., South Dakota, in 1916¹², and in Fargo, Cass Co., North Dakota, from 1917 to at least 1925.² He and his wife Virginia are listed in Fargo in the 1920 federal census and the 1925 state census, along with their son Winston, and Virginia's daughter Bess from her first marriage.^11,13 They are listed in Akron in the 1930 census¹⁴, and they were living in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1935.¹⁵ They lived in Phoenix, Maricopa Co., Arizona, from at least 1940 to 1946^15,9,16, and are listed in Long Beach, Los Angeles Co., California, in the 1950 census.¹⁷ Social Security records list their last residence as Upland, San Bernardino Co., California.¹⁸ He also lived in Texas at some point between 1935 and 1951, as that was his residence when his Social Security account was created.¹⁹

     Bessie Virginia McFann was born in March 1885 in Goshen, Elkhart Co., Indiana.^6,7 She married first George F. Riddell on 15 October 1903 at the home of her uncle Henry Furtney in Austin, Mower Co., Minnesota.^8,9 She married second Charles Andrus Mosher, son of George Alfred Mosher and Laura Isabel Coleman, on 20 May 1913 in Tacoma, Pierce Co., Washington.^7,10,11 She died on 27 April 1973 in San Bernardino Co., California, at age 88.¹² She was buried at Rose Hills Memorial Park (Santa Clara, Gate 17, Section 9, Tier AA, Crypt 2205) in Whittier, Los Angeles Co., California.¹³
     She was born as Bessie Virginia McFann, son of John D. McFann and Mertie Mills, but was raised by her aunt Bessie (Mills) Furtney and her husband Henry, and also used their surname.
     Her mother committed suicide in November 1887 when she was two years old¹⁴, and her father eventually abandoned her, leaving her "to the keeping and charity of others." In April 1890 when she was five, Elizabeth Freshour, who had been caring for her, petitioned the court to be appointed as her guardian, and asked the court's permission to send her to Otawonna, Minnesota, to live with her aunt and uncle Bessie and Henry Furtney.⁴
     The petition was approved, and Bessie is listed with the Furtneys in the 1900 census in Austin, Mower Co., Minnesota, under the name Bessie V. Furtney, as their niece.⁶ The Furtneys may have officially adopted her. In the official record of her first marriage, to George Riddell, she used the name Virginia McFann⁸, and in Bessie (Mills) Furtney's will she is referred to as "my niece Virginia McFann."¹⁵ But in a news article about the marriage she is named Bessie Virginia Furtney⁹, and in the record of her second marriage, to Charles Mosher, she gave her maiden name as Virginia B. Furtney, and her parents as Henry Furtney and Bessie Mills.⁷
