BIOGRAPHY -- From History of Maries County, Missouri, by Everett M. King, page 628:

Daniel Mosher was probably of French descent, or at least of French blood, and the original name was likely 'Mosier; a form sometimes used by the old gentleman himself, but the present generation all spell it Mosher. Daniel's father and uncle, the only ones of the family to come to this country, came from Holland and settled in New York state, where both died of the cholera a few years later. The former had four sons, one of whom went to Iowa, one to Kentucky, one to California, and Daniel to Missouri.

Daniel was a leading early day teacher in the east end of the county, served as County Superintendent arid as Public Administrator, and was otherwise prominent in county affairs.

His first wife was a Davault to whom he was married in Gasconade County. But they soon moved to near Quincy, Illinois, where they spent most of their married life and where his wife died, after which he and their three children returned to this county. The two girls, Polly and another, both married men named Williams. The son, James, married here, but his wife's maiden name is unknown. All moved to Kansas and Colorado a great many years ago and James and Polly are dead, the bodies being returned to this county for burial. The other daughter, Mary, may yet be living in southern Kansas. Nothing is known of the descendants of Polly Williams. James Mosher left four children, Samuel, William, Ina, and another daughter who married Theodore Fritts. All of them live in the west probably in Colorado.

Daniel Mosher's second wife was Anna, daughter of John Allison. She was born November 19, 1820, and died December 15, 1881, survived for several years by her widower and their three children, Jack, Sterling P., and Anna, widow of Jasper Harrison, which see. Jack Mosher [Daniel Jackson], who has been dead many years, first married a Licklider [Jennetta O. "Nettie" Licklider b: 1861], and, second, a Prewett [Hattie Pruitt]. All the children of the first marriage died without issue; of the second, Mary, wife of Joseph Riggins of Aurora, Missouri, is the sole survivor.

Sterling Price Mosher, the remaining child of the second marriage, was born June 13, 1862, and died June 6, 1938. His wife was Louisa Jane, daughter of Louis Hart, who was born in May, 1864, and died February 2, 1930. They were the parents of seven children, of whom Rainey P., connected with the county farm organization, Grover, rural mail carrier out of Safe, Loui T. on the home place, and Agnes, single, live in this county; Clara, wife of Everett Steen, and Anna, wife of John Klossner, in Phelps County; Boley who was born in 1890, died in 1930; married Lois Bullock and is survived by his widow, now Mrs. Gholson, and their two children, Boley Ivan and Verna Lee Mosher, all of Safe.

NOTE: The reference to two daughters, one "Mary" and the other "Polly", are now understood to refer to the same person, Mary Mosher who married Levi P. Brown. The second, and eldest daughter, was Sarah Ellen Mosher who married James N. Williams. DLB 2025.
