FRANK MOSELER
From the Manitowoc County Chronicle
December 1, 1906

Our thanks are due to Mr. Franz Moseler for a bottle of fine wine of his own vintage. Franz is an expert at making wine, having been reared in a wine country. We are as grateful to Franz for the wine as he is to John Schroeder for a hunk of venison which bore double evidence of John's superior marksmanship and that the dear had not died a natural death.

Aged 76 years, he passed away at the home of his son, Nicholas, on Twenty-second street, having retired to his room for a little rest, not feeling well after dinner.

POPULAR OLD TIMER GONE
The funeral of John Moseler Sunday was largely attended. Judge Schmidt of Manitowoc delivered the funeral oration which contained many beautiful sentiments fitting to the occasion.

That was in May 1854. The next year he returned to Two Rivers and when the chair factory started in 1856 he found employment there and continued to work there for thirty-five years with the exception of one year spent at his old home in Germany. From 1896 to 1910 Mr. Moseler was city treasurer which position he conducted efficiently handling in that time millions of dollars. He lost by death eleven of the children bor to him and buried two wives in 45 years and of late was confined to bed with an illness of nearly two years duration.
Through all his troubles, Mr. Moseler was a cheerful philosopher accepting his lot with patience and fortitude and emerging from his difficulties light hearted and good natured as he ever was.
