Notes	Name came from daughter Rosene death certificate From a letter written by Lorraine Mosely Bried In case any of your family may some day be interested in family history. I have written down the little I know about my father's family. He was evidently not very interested in such matters, as mother said he seldom talked about family history and probably knew very little about it. My paternal grandfather was named John Mosely. Who his parents were I do not know. My grandmother was Georgiana Clatterbuck Mosely, and they lived their short married life in the area of Western Callaway County and the eastern edge of Boone County. I think they were married about 1857 or 1858 where or exactly when I do not know. My father was born September 11, 1859 and his little sister Maggie about two years later. Sometime after the Civil War began my grandfather joined the Confederate army. Where he was sent I do not know but he became ill with dysentery which was caused, they believe, by bad food and lack of salt. He was finally sent home to recuperate but instead of improving he became worse and died. Near the same time, whether before or after little Maggie died at the age of 2 years. Georgiana took my father and went back to live in her father's house as was the custom for young widows of that period. She had several brothers but if there were any sisters, Mother did not know of them. Georgiana and papa lived at Grandfather Clatterbuck's (Cageby Clatterbuck) until papa was nine years old. At that time, his mother remarried to a Mr. Burnett (I think his name was Will) They had eight children including both boy twins and girl twins. Mr. Burnett was a good kind man and Papa always respected him but they were very poor as papa quit school and began working as a farm hand when he was quit young. I don't know how or where he met the girl, Ellen Newsom (my mother's double cousin) who became his first wife, in the early 1880's. His mother died and was buried in the Dry Fork Cemetery near Guthrie. Papa's first wife died in 1899 and he and my mother, Rena Dunham were married November 14, 1900. He was more than ten years her senior and they were married less than ten years before his death on May 12, 1910. He was buried beside his first wife in the cemetery of the Liberty Methodist Church near Dixie. The church no longer exists, the building was sold and is now used for a hay barn. We come and go so swiftly in the old world and are so soon forgotten. I doubt there are a dozen persons living outside of the immediate family who ever heard there was such a person as Ben Mosely. Tho he was an honest upright hard-working man and a law abiding citizen. 1880 Callaway Co., Missouri census, single, age 20, working as a farm hand on Charles W. Whaley farm.
