The Chester Herald (Chester, Nebraska) 20 May 1937

Sam Moxham, former resident of Chester, passed away at 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 12th, at the home of his daughter in Dallas, Texas, after a short illness.

The body was brought to Chester, and funeral services were held at the Methodist church (sic), Saturday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. C.G. Ellis. Burial was made in the Chester cemetery (sic).

Obituary

Samuel Manning Moxham was born, May 13th, 1852, near Bristol, England. He came to the United States at the age of twenty and settled in Omaha, Nebr. His first employment was with the Express company as cashier, which position he held for many years. Later Mr. Moxham became identified with the International Harvester Company in Omaha, and was transfered (sic) from there to Crawford, Nebr., and put in charge of the repair department, and later to Cheyenne, Wyo., in the same capacity.

In 1928, he retired and lived in Dallas Texas, a short time, then to Chester, where he lived until the death of his wife in December, 1931. Mr. Moxham has lived in Dallas since his wife's death, with his son, Don.

He became a member of the Methodist church (sic) sixteen years ago, and has been an active member until a short time ago.

He is survived by a brother, Ben, and a half sister, Mrs. Wm. Hunt, both of Chester; two daughters, Mrs. Howard E. Said and Mrs. Guy G. Tomlinson; and two sons, Frank and Don, all of Dallas, Texas; six grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

We sorrow not as those who have no hope for this father has lived well to a good old age.

The Moxham Book" written by William R Salsbury, Sr, 1981, has his name as Samuel Anning Moxham III. It might be possible that after he moved from England to America, his middle name was misspelled. "Anning" was his mother's maiden name, Jane Anning. It was not uncommon to see the mother's maiden name carried on through the first or middle name in other family members.
