 LEWIS MOSELEY

   Well, look at that sturdy, quiet, dignified and pleasant face and you will 
see the face of one of the most popular men that ever lived in the confines of 
old Dale County.  He looked on daylight the first time on the 11th of  June 
1835, being born in Dallas county, Alabama, to Benjamin and Charity Moseley.  
In January, 1856, he moved to Dale County.  
  While being brought up he was educated mostly between the plow handles, 
receiving certification of graduation in muleology and digology and other 
studies of like kind and character.  He was an apt student and stood high and 
was perhaps about the head of his class.  
  In 1857, after finishing school, as a young man he married Miss Nancy White 
and started a school of his own and Buck Moseley was his first pupil, and Buck 
did well.  To this marriage two children were born.  Shortly after the last of 
the two children was born his first wife died, and in 1867 he married Miss 
Nancy Pritchett, and they are now living just as happy as two old people could 
in his pretty country home, two miles above Ozark.  
  Mr. Moseley about ten years ago, joined the Baptist church and he is a strong 
man in that church and very much loved.  He is also an ardent Mason, which 
order he prides in very much.  
  Mr. Moseley went to the war, fighting in the 33rd Alabama regiment, to which 
regiment he belonged. Resigning that regiment he came home for a while and then 
returned to the war, joining the 53rd Alabama Cavalry, holding the office of  
Lieutenant during the war.  He surrendered with his company at Columbia, South 
Carolina.  Mr. Moseley is a strong party man and he has now been elected twice 
as commissioner.  He has made a very faithful officer.  
  He was one of the moving spirits that secured the building of our present 
fine court house and he is very proud of that fact, and though some tried to 
use that as an electioneering scheme to defeat him, the people endorsed  him by 
electing him to the office by good majority.  Uncle Lewis Moseley is 
universally popular with nearly everybody, and one of the best horse traders 
that ever hit the grit.  
  He has a heart as big as he is and loves everybody and everybody loves him.  
We are proud of him and feel rejoiced that we have such a man in our midst and 
that he belongs to our citizenship.  When you strike him he is ever ready to 
advocate the best morals of the country andwhatever is for the best of Dale, 
that he stands for and we are sure we voice the sentiment of all when we say 
Lewis Moseley is a fine man.
