Obituary.

MOSELEY. - At the family residence, corner Fifth and Jackson streets, 
Alexandria, La., on Wednesday, Nov. 14, 1900, at 7:50 a. m., Dr. Benjamin 
Thomas Moseley, aged 51 years. Cause of death, Bright's disease.

Dr. Moseley was born in Hancock county, GA., on the 12th November, 1849, and 
was therefore 51 years and 2 days of age when death called him hence. His 
father, Hon. Benjamin T. Mosely, was a prominent citizen of Georgia, and the 
Mosely family is still prominent in that State. Dr. Moseley, after receiving 
a literary education in his native State, left there before reaching his 
majority and settled in North Louisiana. He studied medicine at Minden, La., 
and took his first course of lectures at the Medical Department of the 
Louisiana University. He graduated in the spring of 1875, from the Medical 
College of New Orleans. He first practiced medicine in North Louisiana, and 
from there moved to Washington, St. Landry parish, where he remained for 
some time. He next moved to New Orleans and practiced his profession there 
for several years, moving with his family to Alexandria in January, 1896, 
and resided here up to the time of his death.

In 1876 he married Miss Jennie Jones of Minden, La., whose father was a 
prominent lawyer of North Louisiana. To this union five children were born, 
three sons and two daughters, all of whom survive their father. He leaves 
one brother, Mr. M. C. Moseley, the well known attorney at law of 
Alexandria.

Dr. Moseley had a very lucrative practice here until his health failed him. 
He was confined to his bed for many weeks before his death.

The remains will be taken to Minden, Webster parish, for interment in the 
family lot in the cemetery there, where his mother and other relatives are 
sleeping. 

Services were held to-day at the family residence at 3 p. m. The remains 
will meet the west-bound Texas & Pacific passenger train, due here at 4:40 
p. m.

To the sorrowing wife, children and brother we extend our sincere 
condolence. - Alexandria Town Talk, November 14.
