Biographical History of La Crosse, Monroe and Juneau Counties, Wisconsin, 1892
"JOHN HAMILTON MOSELEY, M.D., homoeopathic physician and surgeon located at Tomah, Wisconsin, has been engaged in the practice of his profession at that place since August 1885, succeeding Dr. W. O. Kenyon, a successful and popular physician of Appleton, Wisconsin. Dr. Moseley was born in Cattaraugus county, New York, on May 28, 1851. His parents were Alonzo and Eunice (Hunt) Moseley, both natives of New York, the former born in the same county as his son, on October 28, 1827. His father's parents were natives of Vermont. The mother of our subject was born in Machias, Cattaraugus county, New York, on September 25, 1831. In 1852, our subject's parents came West from Buffalo, New York, via the Great Lakes, Racine, Wisconsin, and thence across the country with teams to Monroe county, Wisconsin, at that time a part of La Crosse county.
"They first settled on a rented farm in Jefferson county, Wisconsin, but in the succeeding year came to Sparta with their son, the subject of our sketch. Mr. Moseley was accompanied on his first trip West by Orange P. McClure, who died in Sauk county, a few years ago, these gentlemen making the trip from Racine to Monroe county on foot. The land selected by Mr. Moseley, Sr., for his home was State land, situated on what is known as the Black river road, about one and a half miles north of the city of Sparta. This is now one of the finest farms in Monroe county, and it was here that Mr. Moseley resided for about twenty years, at which time he disposed of his homestead, intending to remove to the South. On further consideration, however, he changed his mind, he and his wife still being worthy and respected residents of this county. All of their seven children, excepting our subject, were born in this county, six being living at the present time (1892); the next child, younger than the Doctor, is Daniel Thomas, born February 16, 1854, being at present a farmer of Lincoln township, this county, being mostly engaged in raising potatoes, in which branch of agriculture he excels; Emma, the next child in succession, was born on June 26, 1856, dying of diptheria in January, 1864; Flora was born on December 17, 1858, and is the widow of F. A. Meyers, who succumbed to pneumonia which succeeded the grippe, dying at Bismarck, North Dakota, on March 26, 1891; he was assistant station agent and telegraph operator at the place; Ida May, wife of Martin Woodworth, was born on January 16, 1861; Arthur was born on September 17, 1864, and resides on the old homestead; Clara Eliza, youngest of the family, was born on June 8, 1868, and is the wife of Thomas Kelley.
"Our subject, John Hamilton Moseley, M.D., was reared on the old homestead in this county, attending the district school at Beaver creek, and the high school in the village, now city, of Sparta, which latter school was then presided over as principals by Professors Magoffin and Jacob Bloomingdale. He went, in 1871, to St. Louis, to study medicine with Dr. E. E. Sargent, with whom he remained five years. He first practiced his profession of Olathe, the county seat of Johnson county, Kansas, locating there in May, 1876. On March 22, 1877, he was married to Miss Clara Clark, a graduate of the St. Louis Normal School and a teacher at that time in St. Louis, Missouri. Her parents were William and Sarah (Tharp) Clark, the former having been born at Johnstown, New York, on May 22, 1826. Her father was, for many years, employed by the Studebaker Manufacturing Company, at South Bend, Indiana, and was at that time the owner of the water power at Mishawaka, near South Bend. Her mother was born at Mishawaka, Indiana, where her parents were married in April, 1853. In 1854, her parents removed to Iowa, locating in the vicinity of Bloomfield, and later in the vicinity of Fairfield. In 1866, they took up residence in St. Louis, residing there until their respective deaths, her father surviving her mother by several years. Mrs. Moseley and a brother, Allan Clark, of Cincinnati, Ohio, are the only survivors of a family of four children, two brothers being deceased, viz.: Preston and Giles, who were aged respectively sixteen and nine years at the time of their deaths. Mrs. Moseley was born near Bloomfield, Iowa, September 19, 1854.
"Dr. and Mrs. Moseley have had six children: Parker, born on June 26, 1878; Mabel, born August 13, 1880; Edith, born November 26, 1882; Jannie, born April 22, 1885; died of malignant scarlatine, on October 20, 1888; Nita, born October 13, 1887; and Cora, born on April 26, 1891.
"On entering upon the study of medicine, Dr. Moseley selected the homeopathic system, and graduated in March, 1874, from the Homeopathic Medical College, of Missouri, located in St. Louis. After this, he spent some time in the hospitals of that city, graduating with high honors from the Missouri Medical College (old-school) at St. Louis, in March, 1876. His fine medical library contains well selected books of both systems of medicine. He is well versed in his profession, and enjoys a large practice, being a most worthy and esteemed citizen. He is a man of commanding presence, genial and sympathetic attributes, contributing much to his professional success. Rocked in the cradle of adversity himself, he can sympathize with the sick and suffering; and his practical knowledge of the value of money prompts him to many acts of generosity, appreciated and remembered by his patients and friends. Of high morality and integrity, he is deeply interested in the promotion of the moral and material growth of his community. From boyhood, he has been much interested in the cause of temperance, having been a member amendment in that State in 1880. He was reared a Republican, but his strong temperance convictions and intense opposition to the liquor traffic have conduced to attract him to the Prohibition party, of which he has been a member since 1884. Temperate in all things, himself, he is ever interested in the advancement of temperance and morality."

"Dr. and Mrs. Moseley have had six children: Parker, born on June 26, 1878; Mabel, born August 13, 1880; Edith, born November 26, 1882; Jannie, born April 22, 1885; died of malignant scarlatine, on October 20, 1888; Nita, born October 13, 1887; and Cora, born on April 26, 1891.
"On entering upon the study of medicine, Dr. Moseley selected the homeopathic system, and graduated in March, 1874, from the Homeopathic Medical College, of Missouri, located in St. Louis. After this, he spent some time in the hospitals of that city, graduating with high honors from the Missouri Medical College (old-school) at St. Louis, in March, 1876. His fine medical library contains well selected books of both systems of medicine. He is well versed in his profession, and enjoys a large practice, being a most worthy and esteemed citizen. He is a man of commanding presence, genial and sympathetic attributes, contributing much to his professional success. Rocked in the cradle of adversity himself, he can sympathize with the sick and suffering; and his practical knowledge of the value of money prompts him to many acts of generosity, appreciated and remembered by his patients and friends. Of high morality and integrity, he is deeply interested in the promotion of the moral and material growth of his community. From boyhood, he has been much interested in the cause of temperance, having been a member amendment in that State in 1880. He was reared a Republican, but his strong temperance convictions and intense opposition to the liquor traffic have conduced to attract him to the Prohibition party, of which he has been a member since 1884. Temperate in all things, himself, he is ever interested in the advancement of temperance and morality."

Biographical History of La Crosse, Monroe and Juneau Counties, Wisconsin, 1892
"JOHN HAMILTON MOSELEY, M.D., homoeopathic physician and surgeon located at Tomah, Wisconsin, has been engaged in the practice of his profession at that place since August 1885, succeeding Dr. W. O. Kenyon, a successful and popular physician of Appleton, Wisconsin. Dr. Moseley was born in Cattaraugus county, New York, on May 28, 1851. His parents were Alonzo and Eunice (Hunt) Moseley, both natives of New York, the former born in the same county as his son, on October 28, 1827. His father's parents were natives of Vermont. The mother of our subject was born in Machias, Cattaraugus county, New York, on September 25, 1831. In 1852, our subject's parents came West from Buffalo, New York, via the Great Lakes, Racine, Wisconsin, and thence across the country with teams to Monroe county, Wisconsin, at that time a part of La Crosse county.
"They first settled on a rented farm in Jefferson county, Wisconsin, but in the succeeding year came to Sparta with their son, the subject of our sketch. Mr. Moseley was accompanied on his first trip West by Orange P. McClure, who died in Sauk county, a few years ago, these gentlemen making the trip from Racine to Monroe county on foot. The land selected by Mr. Moseley, Sr., for his home was State land, situated on what is known as the Black river road, about one and a half miles north of the city of Sparta. This is now one of the finest farms in Monroe county, and it was here that Mr. Moseley resided for about twenty years, at which time he disposed of his homestead, intending to remove to the South. On further consideration, however, he changed his mind, he and his wife still being worthy and respected residents of this county. All of their seven children, excepting our subject, were born in this county, six being living at the present time (1892); the next child, younger than the Doctor, is Daniel Thomas, born February 16, 1854, being at present a farmer of Lincoln township, this county, being mostly engaged in raising potatoes, in which branch of agriculture he excels; Emma, the next child in succession, was born on June 26, 1856, dying of diptheria in January, 1864; Flora was born on December 17, 1858, and is the widow of F. A. Meyers, who succumbed to pneumonia which succeeded the grippe, dying at Bismarck, North Dakota, on March 26, 1891; he was assistant station agent and telegraph operator at the place; Ida May, wife of Martin Woodworth, was born on January 16, 1861; Arthur was born on September 17, 1864, and resides on the old homestead; Clara Eliza, youngest of the family, was born on June 8, 1868, and is the wife of Thomas Kelley.
"Our subject, John Hamilton Moseley, M.D., was reared on the old homestead in this county, attending the district school at Beaver creek, and the high school in the village, now city, of Sparta, which latter school was then presided over as principals by Professors Magoffin and Jacob Bloomingdale. He went, in 1871, to St. Louis, to study medicine with Dr. E. E. Sargent, with whom he remained five years. He first practiced his profession of Olathe, the county seat of Johnson county, Kansas, locating there in May, 1876. On March 22, 1877, he was married to Miss Clara Clark, a graduate of the St. Louis Normal School and a teacher at that time in St. Louis, Missouri. Her parents were William and Sarah (Tharp) Clark, the former having been born at Johnstown, New York, on May 22, 1826. Her father was, for many years, employed by the Studebaker Manufacturing Company, at South Bend, Indiana, and was at that time the owner of the water power at Mishawaka, near South Bend. Her mother was born at Mishawaka, Indiana, where her parents were married in April, 1853. In 1854, her parents removed to Iowa, locating in the vicinity of Bloomfield, and later in the vicinity of Fairfield. In 1866, they took up residence in St. Louis, residing there until their respective deaths, her father surviving her mother by several years. Mrs. Moseley and a brother, Allan Clark, of Cincinnati, Ohio, are the only survivors of a family of four children, two brothers being deceased, viz.: Preston and Giles, who were aged respectively sixteen and nine years at the time of their deaths. Mrs. Moseley was born near Bloomfield, Iowa, September 19, 1854.
"Dr. and Mrs. Moseley have had six children: Parker, born on June 26, 1878; Mabel, born August 13, 1880; Edith, born November 26, 1882; Jannie, born April 22, 1885; died of malignant scarlatine, on October 20, 1888; Nita, born October 13, 1887; and Cora, born on April 26, 1891.
