       JOHN C. MOSS. - Among the farmers who are devoted to their calling and
  bring skill to the aid of agricultural art is John Moss, whose fine property in
  Colley township, Sullivan county, Pennsylvania, is a source of pride to the
  entire community. He was born near Wilkesbarre, this state, July 3, 1861, and is
  a son of David and Sarah (Wright) Moss, both natives of New Jersey. The father
  died September 29, 1879, leaving the following children: Emily, deceased; Aaron,
  of Bowman's creek, Pennsylvania; Solomon, a soldier of the Civil war; Wesley,
  who lost his life in the service; Mary, the wife of Mr. Dow, of Colley township;
  Joseph, also of the same township; Daniel, residing near Ashley, Pennsylvania;
  Horace, of Luzerne county; Sarah, the wife of Mr. Taylor, of Bangor,
  Pennsylvania; Margaret, the wife of J. R. Weaver, of this township; and John,
  the subject of this sketch.
  
      John Moss represents a class of substantial, progressive farmers. He
  purchased his present farm of eight hundred and ninety-seven acres in 1894, and
  the year following erected a good barn sixteen feet high and forty-six by fifty
  feet in dimensions. He has but lately completed his residence, at a cost of
  eleven hundred dollars, a building constructed especially with a view to
  convenience and comfort. He has added many other improvements to his property,
  making it one of the finest farms in this section.
