   CORNELIUS F. MOSES, manager for the Mutual Life Insurance Company, is the
scion of one of the oldest families of South Carolina, whose history dates back
to the period before the Revolutionary war. Mr. Moses was born in Augusta,
Georgia, in 1865, where he was reared and educated. He was but twenty-one years
of age when he first formed the connection with the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York which has continued through all these years and as whose
representative Mr. Moses is so widely known in the state of Georgia, His first
work was as a local agent in Georgia, and through his energy and ability he was
from time to time promoted to higher position. In 1898, he was appointed
district agent at Savannah, and since that time he has made his headquarters in
this city, here maintaining his residence. In 1905, the state was divided into
two divisions, and Mr. Moses was appointed to his present position as general
agent for the South Georgia territory, which embraces practically the southern
half of the state. His first year's efforts in Savannah were rewarded by
receiving the beautiful silver loving cup of his company, known as the
"President's Cup," one of which was in that year presented to the agent in each
state producing the largest amount of business. Mr. Moses' agency has never been
a laggard one in the matter of productiveness, and it is recognized by the New
York office as being the most productive agency of the company, in proportion to
the population of the territory he represents. He is widely known as one of the
most successful insurance men in the United States, and the record of his
achievements in the insurance world is one of which he might well be proud. He
was at one time president of the Savannah Life Underwriters' Association, at the
present time he is vice-president of the Southern Managers Association of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, comprising all the southern managers of the
company, and in the next year will be made president of the association. In a
fraternal way, Mr. Moses is a member of Ancient Landmark Lodge No. 231, Ancient
Free and Accepted Masons, and is a thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Mason,
being affiliated with R. J. Nunn Consistory No. 1. He is a member of Alee Temple
A. A. O. N. M. S., a member of the Oglethorpe Club, the Yacht Club, the
Cotillion Club, and the Golf Club, being secretary of the last mentioned club,
and an enthusiastic golfer.

   In 1889, Mr. Moses was married at Washington to Miss Anna H. Sneed, a
daughter of the late James Roddy Sneed, a prominent newspaper man, who was
editor of the old Savannah Republican prior to and during the war.
