He was born in County Tipperary, Ireland, in 1840, and was the second in a family of four children born to William and Margaret (Quirk ) Moylan, also natives of the Emerald Isle. The father followed the occupation of farming almost throughout his entire life, and in 1847 emigrated to America, working for about two years in the Eastern States, after which he came to Muscatine County, Iowa, and entered land. From the raw prairie he developed a fine farm, upon which he resided for several years. His death occurred on the 15th of January, 1862, in Linn County, Iowa, after a short illness, at the age of forty-five. Mrs. Moylan, who was a most estimable lady, died in May, 1884, aged seventy-two years. Edward was reared to manhood on a farm, and received his education in the district schools of Iowa, to which he came when a lad. On the 12th Of August, 1862 he enlisted in the service of his country at Muscatine for three year's service, and was assigned to Company E, 35th Iowa Infantry. He participated in all the engagements of the regiment, including the battles of Vicksburg, Tupelo, Yellow Bayou, the Red River Campaign, Nashville, Spanish Fort, Mobile Bay, and at Jackson, Miss. He also did garrison duty for some time, and after three years of service was honorably discharged at Davenport, Aug. 10, 1865. Returning to his home, Mr. Moylan engaged in farming, and in 1869 was united in marriage with Ann F. Fitzpatrick, the ceremony being performed in the month of January. The lady is a native of Cedar County, Iowa, and is a daughter of James and Mary ( Fitzpatrick ) Fitzpatrick, who were natives of Ireland, but who emigrated to this country previous to their marriage. They became residents of Cedar County at an early day, the death of the father there occurring in 1864.. His wife survived him until 1878, when she too was called to her final home. Seven children have been born of the union of Edward Moylan and Ann Fitzpatrick, and all are yet living: William J., Mary Helen, James, Margaret Theresa, John Francis, Bessie and Henry Albert. The young couple began their domestic life upon the old homestead, where they resided until 1881, when it was sold and a fine farm of 368 acres on section 26, Goshen Township, was purchased. Since that time improvements have been made, and the land placed under a high state of cultivation, transforming it into one of the best farms in the community. Mr Moylan gives considerable attention to the raising of fine stock, making a specialty of breeding Short-horn cattle and Norman and Clydesdale horses. Politically he is a supporter of the democratic party, but he has never been an office-seeker, preferring to give his attention exclusively to his business interests. He assisted in organizing Goshen Township, with whose history he has been identified continuously since, and also aided in the organization of the school districts. Socially he is a member of Charles Michener Post No. 362, of Atalissa. An enterprising and progressive farmer, a loyal, true citizen, and an honorable, upright man, he is held in high regard by all who know him, and is well worthy of the esteem and confidence of all.
