my copy from microfilm but it says Vol. 13.
He died 22 July 1915.
POPULAR OLD TIMER GONE
The funeral of John Moseler Sunday was largely attended. Judge
Schmidt of Manitowoc delivered the funeral oration which contained
many beautiful sentiments fitting to the occasion. John Moseler
was born in Groef (Krov*), Germany in 1832 (November 30). He grew
to manhood there and when about 20 years of age he and thirteen
other young men set out for America and Mr. Moseler came to Two
Rivers and went to work in a saw mill up at Neshoto. That was in
May 1854. The next year he returned to Two Rivers and when the
chair factory started in 1856 he found employment there and
continued to work there for thirty-five years with the exception
of one year spent at his old home in Germany. From 1896 to 1910
Mr. Moseler was city treasurer which position he conducted
efficiently handling in that time millions of dollars. He lost by
death eleven of the children bor to him and buried two wives in
45 years and of late was confined to bed with an illness of nearly
two years duration.
Through all his troubles, Mr. Moseler was a cheerful philosopher
accepting his lot with patience and fortitude and emerging from
his difficulties light hearted and good natured as he ever was.
Although greatly weakened from old age Mr. Moseler had entirely
recovered from his long illness and his death came after an illness
of a day. He is survived by five children George of Howards Grove,
Louis of Mellen, Nicholas of Ishpeming, Mrs. M. Cordts of Milwaukee
and Mrs. Frank Lamach and one brother, Franz Moseler of this city.

JOHN MOSELER - article
OLD TIMERS
Adversity and trouble (and he has had his share of that) have not destroyed the cheerfulness of John Moseler. He lost by death eleven of the children born to him, has buried two wives in forty-five years, besides the ordinary troubles of life that befall all men and of late has been confined to bed with an illness of nearly two years duration. Through all his troubles, Mr. Moseler has been a cheerful philosopher accepting his lot with patience and fortitude and emerging from his difficulties, light hearted and good natured as he ever was.
He is past 80 years of age and is very well after his long siege of illness. He claims to be able to walk as well as he could about 79 years ago notwithstanding his old age. Such witticism is characteristic of him. He is much given to wit and humor.
John Moseler has held positions of trust and ?? in Two Rivers. Besides being an alderman for several years, he was the city treasurer for 1896 to 1910, 14 years. During that time he handled millions of dollars and his accounts were always straight. John Moseler is a democrat and had voted the democratic ticket at every presidential election beginning with Buchanan.
John Moseler came to Two Rivers in May, 1854 and went immediately to Neshoto where he worked in a saw mill. A year later he came back to Two Rivers. In 1856 the chair factory started and he found employment there for thirty-five years. During the first two years he did not receive a cent of cash, nor did any of the employes. They were given store pay – groceries and other necessities. He was unable to pay $1.80 taxes on his house until long after it was due in consequence of this system.
The chair factory was built and operated by the New England Manufacturing company. This company brought many workmen from New England but in a few years, they had all returned to the east with the exception of a few among whom were Thos. Hayes, who is now living a retired life here after 20 years of farming in Minnesota and Daniel Van Nostrand, deceased. In the panic of '58 the New England Mfg. Co. was succeeded by Aldrich Smith & Co., and this company was succeeded by Mann Bros. In 1862. The Manns operated the business until 1890 when the plant was shut down finally. Two years ago it was torn down and on its site now stands the plant of the Standard Aluminum Company.
John Moseler had the best job in the chair factory for many years. He received a certain amount for each chair on the basis of a jobber. Of fourteen young men aged about 21 years who started for this country one sunny morning from a quiet little village in Germany singing, “We are going to America”, Mr. Moseler is the only one remaining alive.
Mr. Moseler states that altho during old times in Two Rivers people had to go without a great many things which are now plentiful, they had dances and singing and picnics, which he thinks were more enjoyed than pleasures of today because people then were more contented, took a greater interest in each other and envy and jealousy were comparatively unknown among them.
