A native of Johnsonville, Ill., he was born Sept. 5, 1872, the son of Dr. William Moss and Mary Galbraith Johnson. He was a graduate of Marion-Sims Medical College, now a part of St. Louis University, and practiced in Johnsonville about 20 years before coming to Homer.

One son, Thomas P., preceded him in death last January.
