Obit, Bureau County Tribune, August 20, 1886, Page 8, Column 5
Charles Coburn Moseley
Son of the late Roland Moseley, was born in Princeton, Illinois, October 9th, 1841; and was educated at Susquehana Collegiate Institute, Pa., where his uncle, Charles R. Coburn, late superintendent of public instruction for that state was then instructor in mathematics. Unmarried, he has lived since 1866 in Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas.
Wishing for, and in the hope of immortal life, he died on the second day of August, 1886, in the house of his friend, C.C. Martin, and is buried "where scenes he loved around lie," on Stuart's Island, Chicot County, Arkansas.
"O fair and lovely island with skies of tenderest hue,
Girt round with sparkling waters of amethyst and blue;
No frost winds blight your blossoms, no winter snows come here.
But one eternal summer encircles all the year."
"Fair are the scenes that round him lie;
Bright shines the great earth gladdening sun,
And sweetly crimsoned is the sky
At twilight, when the day is done;
And the same stars look down at even
That glitter in his native heaven."
{C.C. Martin is most likely Charles Christian Martin. Findagrave Memorial Number: 44431945}
