   WILLIAM M. MOSS, editor and proprietor of the Bloomfield Democrat, is a
native of this county, born in Stockton Township March 22, 1852. His
grandfather, Aquilla Moss, was a native of the Old Dominion, but removed to
Kentucky at an early day; from there to Ohio, and later to Washington County,
Ind. In 1827, he removed to Greene County, where he ever afterward resided; he
served in the war between the United States and Mexico; was the father of ten
sons and two daughters, one son being Daniel H. Moss, father of William M.;
Daniel H., was married to Mary A. Mayfield, and two of their four children are
now living; William M. Moss, was raised in his native township and completed his
literary schooling with two years' study at Farmersburg, in Ascension Seminary
He afterward graduated at the Normal and Commercial Institute in Sullivan, and
when nineteen years old began doing for himself. For ten years, beginning in
1870, he followed school teaching, and from 1876 to 1880 was Principal of
Excelsior Seminary, in Vigo County. In June, 1880, he purchased the Bloomfield
