Obituary #1:
Floyd A. "Proud Pony" Mosley of Buckshutem Rd., Bridgeton, N.J. was born on January 7, 1938 to David W. and Mary Mosley. He was born in Penns Neck, but spent his formative years in Greenwich, New Jersey where he formed many lasting friendships. His elementary schooling was completed in Greenwich followed by attendance at Bridgeton High School where he graduated in 1958.
In March of 1967 the Great Spirit led Floyd to be joined in matrimony to Karen E. "Spring Rainbow" Hughes. Their union was blessed in February of 1973 with the birth of their son, William "Swift Water" Mosley.
During the course of his life Floyd worked for Owens-Illinois for twenty-five years. After the closing of their Bridgeton facility, Floyd found employment at Wheaton Tube Drawing as a Welder-Maintenance mechanic where he earned perfect attendance awards for each year of his employment. He was proud to have served his country for eight years as a member of the N.J. National Guard. For many years Floyd was an active member of the South Jersey Pony Trotting Assn. He was a tribal member of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Indians and he served on the Tribal Council. Floyd took great pride in participating in the rituals and ceremonies of his people. His family bond was enhanced by their involvement in tribal activities. He loved to recount amusing anecdotes at gatherings. He enjoyed pony racing, camping and pow-wows.
He delighted in being in the company of children. No visit to his home was complete without hearing "Have you got a kiss and hug for Uncle Floyd?" His jovial teasing and sense of humor will be missed by all who knew him.
He departed this life on September 10, 1993 while a patient of the South Jersey Hospital System-Bridgeton Division having suffered a stroke six weeks earlier. He leaves to cherish memories of him: A loving wife Karen; a devoted son William; four brothers: Forrest, David and Charles of Bridgeton and Raymond of Franklinville; three sisters: Velma Loatman and Charlotte Coward of Bridgeton and Naomi Pierce of Aura; and a host of many loving relatives and wonderful friends.
Pallbearers: Charles L. Mosley, Leroy Pierce, William Carney, Sr., Douglas Johnson, Edward Terry, Larry Sooy.
Honorary Pallbearers: Lewis "Gray Squirrel" Pierce, Mark "Quiet Hawk" Gould, Harry J. "Strong Bow" Gould, Matthew "Two Mountains" Harmon.
