Henry T. Mosey, Freedom, Illinois, is a son of Thomas T. Mosey and a
nephew of Barto Thompson, two of the well known and most highly respected
pioneers of the town of Freedom. He is one of a family of eight children,
all enumerated in the sketch of Thomas T. Mosey. His only brother, Charles
T. Mosey, is a member of the firm of Klove & Mosey, hardware and implement
dealers of Leland, Illinois.
Henry T. was born in the town of
Freedom, Illinois, May 11, 1858. He received his early training on the farm
and in the district school. After reaching his majority he assumed the role
of farmer independent of parental assistance, which occupation he still
follows and in which he finds contentment and a reasonable degree of
prosperity. He resides on and owns the farm upon which he was born, ranks
with the representative men of his township, and has the confidence and
esteem of all who know him.
Mr. Mosey was married January 17, 1888,
to Miss Emma Quam, a sister of John A. Quam, of Sheridan, Illinois. Their
union has been blessed in the birth of four children, namely: Earling, Omer,
Ruth and Blanche.
Mr. Mosey is a Republican. He cast his first
presidential vote for the lamented Garfield, and has supported every
candidate of his party since. He has served as a town collector and has just
concluded a seven-years service as town assessor, and is serving his fifth
year as surveyor for the Independent Farmers' Aid Company for Freedom
township.
