Leban Moss
Nov 25,1830-April 30,1901

REV. LABAN MOSS, son of Rev. Aquilla Moss, appropriate mention of whom is made in the biography of William G. Moss, is a native of the county in which he still resides, his birth occurring in 1830. He was reared and educated in his native county, his early advantages being only such as the pioneer times of that early day afforded. When a young man he employed many of his spare hours in hunting and in time he became quite celebrated in the skillful use of the gun. It is claimed that he has killed more deer than any man in Stockton Township and at one time he performed the rare act of killing two deer at one shot. September 2,1850, his marriage with Miss Rhoda Rector was solemnized, and the same fall of this event he located on his present place, where he owns an excellent farm of 290 acres, on which is one of the best orchards in Greene County. To him and wife this family of children have been born: Sarah E., Aquilla (deceased), William G., Mary J., Joseph M., Brunette, Delilah J., Keziah P., Laban J. and Allen J. The mother was born September 27, 1832, a daughter of Joseph and Mary (McBride) Rector, who were among the pioneers of Lawrence County, Ind., but now residents of Sullivan County. Mr. Moss is one of Stockton Township's best citizens. He has the respect and esteem of his friends and neighbors and considers with pride the fact that he has never been sued in his life and never had occasion to sue but one man.
