Obituary- Moss, John 1

Death came Tuesday morning, November 5th, to relieve the sufferings of John T. Moss, well known local resident and former assistant cashier of the First National bank.

The end was a peaceful one and followed a gallant effort on the part of nationally known physicians to save Mr. Moss which was coupled vainly with the ministrations of scores of friends in this locality.

The deceased passed away in the old family home at First and Bertrand. Among the prominent clergy who assisted at the Requiem Mass and services in the Immaculate Conception church this morning were the Rev. J. V. O’Connor, S. J., a classmate of Mr. Moss at St. Mary’s college in other days.

Born in Rossville on October 24th, 1876, John was the only surviving son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Moss, deceased. A resident of this city for 44 years, he came here with his par-ents when a youngster and after receiving his education at St. Mary’s college, he entered the employ of the First National bank of which his father was president for so many years. In 1917 he resigned his position with the First National and since that time had established an insurance, loan and investment business in his own name that thrived as the years brought expansion.

Mr. Moss, from his childhood days was an accomplished pianist and his hospitality, like that of his father’s was known through out this section of the state.

Relatives here who survive Mr. Moss are his aunt, Miss Mollie Kessler, who has resided at his home for years; Mr. Frank Moss, a first cousin and Mrs. Blanche Allen, a third cousin.

The burial will take place in the family lot in Rossville cemetery. The pallbearers, St. Mary’s alumni, are Messrs. W. F. Youngkamp, David Urbansky, A. DeDonder, J. J. McCaffrey, H. E. Ryan and F. A. Sipes —St. Marys Star
