The following was contributed by Robert Fahey From the 1911 book Past and Present of Hardin County Iowa, pp. 590-592: Samuel E. Mossman Few citizens who have lived in Hardin county of recent years have left a more indelible imprint upon the minds and hearts of the people here than the late Samuel E. Mossman, for he was a good and useful man and never failed to do the right as he saw and understood the right, in all the relations of life. Mr. Mossman was born November 15, 1841, in Mercer county, Illinois, and he was the son of George and Hannah (Brown) Mossman, the father a native of England and the mother of Virginia, and they spent most of their lives in Indiana, the father being a blacksmith by trade; they were the parents of thirteen children, Samuel E., of this review, having been the seventh in order of birth. He received his education in the common schools and grew up in Illinois, being sixteen years of age when he came to Hardin county, Iowa, with his parents. They found pioneer conditions here, there being at that time only two houses in what is now the city of Eldora. After remaining in that place a short time, they settled one-half mile east of Hubbard n a grove, later entering one hundred and sixty acres of land five miles northeast of Hubbard in Tipton township. Here the elder Mossman made a home and lived until his death. Samuel E. Mossman lived at home until he enlisted in the Union army, November 15, 1862, in Company F, Thirty-second Iowa Volunteer Infantry, at Eldora, Iowa, under Captain Edgerton. He was sent to St. Louis and later served under General Sherman and he was in the Red River expedition, during which he fell ill. He served very faithfully for a period of three years and nine months, during which he saw some hard service and was in many tight places. On August 10, 1865, Mr. Mossman married Margaret A. Hough, who was born in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, June 21, 1846, the daughter of Jacob and Eliza (Cravens) Hough, the former a native of Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, and the latter of Westmoreland county, that state. They came to Eldora, Iowa, in the spring of 1856, locating on one hundred and ten acres of land in Pleasant township, three miles east of Hubbard and there remained many years. Mr. Hough was always a farmer and politically he was a Republican, and a member of the Presbyterian church, while his wife was a Methodist. They became well known here and were highly respected by all. Six children were born to them, namely: William F. was in Company B, Eleventh Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and was killed at the battle of Shiloh; Peter, who married Sarah Sweet, is farming at Miller, South Dakota; Christian is farming near Hubbard, Iowa; E. R., whose sketch appears on another page of this work, is also farming here; George is in the insurance business at Hubbard; Margaret A., wife of the subject, was the fourth child in order of birth. To Mr. and Mrs. Mossman eight children were born, namely: Byron, born July 5, 1867, died February 2, 1908; William L., born February 19, 1869, died July 6, 1896; Eliza Ellen, born June 28, 1872, is the wife of William Thompson, a farmer and at present assessor of Tipton township, this county; they have two children, Edna and Wade; Frederick Clifford, born January 1, 1875, who is farming in Pleasant township, married Bertha Boylan and they have three children, Floy, Blanche and Ella; Isaac A., born February 16, 1878, married Lulu Conklin; they live in Pleasant township and have two sons, Lowell and Wendell; Jasper J., born October 13, 1880, married Lottie King; they live in Grant township, this county, and have one child, Bernice; Miner R., born May 6, 1883, is living on the old home place; he married May Sheldon and they have two sons, Patrick and Warren; Edna L., born September 24, 1885, is the wife of Elmer Ridout, of Ellis township, and they have three children, Derley, Russell and Burley. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Mossman located on their farm of one hundred and twenty-five acres in Tipton township. The land was all wild at that time and it required lots of hard work to develop a farm from it, but Mr. Mossman was a hard worker and succeeded and he lived here until his death, June 15, 1900. He was an excellent citizen and highly honored by all who knew him. His widow remained in the place until 1907, when she moved to Hubbard, where she has since made her home. She still owns one hundred and five acres of the old home place, besides her neat and substantial home in Hubbard. She is a woman of many fine characteristics and has a host of friends here. Mr. Mossman was assessor of Tipton township and held many other offices always with credit and satisfaction. He was a Republican. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, also the Methodist church, having belonged to the latter from the age of sixteen. He was a good and useful man and honored by all who knew him.
