Henry James Walter Mosier was born on the same farm as his father (the old Tom Small place) off hwy 123 across from Union Baptist Church. His mother was Elizabeth Small Mosier.
Walter left home at 12 years of age and went to live with his uncle George Small.
Walter married at 19 years of age to Pearlie Whitaker, daughter of Jackson and Rebecca Whitaker, and lived in Van Wyck, SC for a while before moving back to the Tom Small farm.
Walter bought a 1920 Model T touring car with a canvas top. He borrowed $900.00 using the farm as collateral to pay for the car and to purchase more land. Although he worked at the Lancaster Cotton Mill as a loom fixer and weaver, he was unable to pay off the loan. There was enough timber on the land to pay off the loan but the bank holding the mortgage would not allow it to be cut down so the farm was lost (it had been in the family for over 100 years) and in Nov 1929 the family moved to Lancaster, close to the cotton mill.
Walter liked to dress up and wore a black hat and suit most of the time.
