Hiram, son of Obadiah Mosher (1795-1866) & Nancy Allen (1797-1890), married 2 Oct 1860 to Frances Robbins. He was a Sergeant in Company "F", Minnesota Infantry. Lost an arm in Civil War; Reg. of Deeds Waseka Co. Hiram was born Crawford, OH
H. A. Mosher came to Minnesota in 1856 and pre-empted a claim on section one in Otisco. He returned to Wisconsin that fall where he remained until 1860, when he married Miss Frances Robbins, and returned to Minnesota and settled in Woodville. He engaged in farming until August, 1862, when he enlisted in Co. F of the Tenth Minnesota infantry, commanded by Captain George T. White, of this county. His company was stationed at the Winnebago Agency, Blue Earth county, during the winter of 1862-3, did duty at Mankato at the hanging of the Sioux murderers, and "chased the Indians o'er the plains," as mounted infantry, under the command of General Sibley.
After the Indian expedition, he went South with his regiment and participated in all its gallant history there. He was at the battle of Tupelo, helped chase Forrest for some days, drove Price out of Missouri, and fought the good fight at Nashville where he lost his left arm and was wounded in the side and abdomen. At the battle his regiment lost some 25 in killed and 75 were wounded. It was at this battle, the Captain George T. White gave up his life for his country, shot through the bowels. Privates Theodore Hacker, Hanson Oleson, Chandler Fleming and J. D. Ferguson were killed. Lieutenant Isaac Hamlin, Sergeants H. A. Mosher and George H. Woodbury, and private Edward Brossard, of this county, were wounded, more or less severely. Corporal David Snyder was also wounded at the battle of Nashville.
After his return from the service with his armless sleeve he was elected register of deed in November, 1865, in this county, and re-elected for seven consecutive terms — 14 years. He then gave way for Mr. Charles SanGalli, and was again elected to that position in 1883, and died Nov. 13, 1884, very suddenly, of heart disease. He was one of God's noblemen in every sense of the word, and came about as near perfection as any human being gets. "He was our friend," the friend of a life time.
