Mr. and Mrs. Hibbard drove overland with oxen, and stopped for a time in Morgan County, Ill., from whence they came to Nauvoo, and bought land, now included in the city, which Mr. Hibbard operated. Milton M. Morrill came to Nauvoo about 1842, and became one of its prominent men. A lawyer by profession, he became county judge, served in the State Legis- lature, and was a member of the constitutional convention.

was tax collector and a notary public, and gave satisfaction in all these offices. His family is one of the oldest in the county, and is connected by marriage with many others, among them be- ing the Whites, a member of which was married to one of the Hibbard girls, he being a pilot on the Mississippi river. Another pilot, named Waggoner, also belonging to an old family, was married to a Hibbard girl.
MOSLEY, M. R., ex-sheriff of Hancock County, has proved many times over his fitness for the office he so ably held. He was born in Han- cock Township, October 30, 1871, a son of Simeon A. and Sarah (Kurry.) Mosley, the former of whom was born in Hancock County. During the Civil War Simeon Mosley enlisted in the Forty-second Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and continued in the army until the close of hostili- ties, when he returned home, was married, and settled on the farm that continued to be his home until death claimed him. He was a mem- ber of the Christian Church, and in political faith was a Democrat. Of his ten, children, seven survive, namely: M. R .; Cora, who is the wife of William Booz; Iva, who is the wife of Samuel Lenox; Burns, who lives at Kirksville, Mo .; Earl, who lives at Fort Madi- son, Iowa ; Ray, who is an ex-deputy sheriff of Hancock County ; and Hazel, who is the wife of William Sheldon.
M. R. Mosley was reared on his father's farm and he attended the schools of the district, re- maining at home until he attained his majority. At that time he began farming for himself and continued his agricultural labors until 1905. In that year he entered a livery business at Plymouth, Ill., but two years later he came to Carthage where he continued in the same line of business until 1914. In that year he was the successful candidate of his party for sheriff. Although his duties compelled his taking ex- treme measures at times, he never exceeded his authority, and treated unfortunates under his care with a big-hearted sympathy that won confidence, and oftentimes was of great assist- ance to those who, through inherited tendencies or unfortunate circumstances, had become crim- inals.
On September 25, 1853, Mr. Mosley was mar- ried to Ora A. Jones, a daughter of J. B. Jones, who was' reared on a Hancock County farm and received her educational training in the public schools. Mrs. Mosley died March 19, 1918. Mr. and Mrs. Mosley had the following children : Ferne E., who was graduated from the common schools, is a milliner at Carthage; Avory, who was graduated from the Carthage High school attended the Carthage Academy for a year, and now is a United States Marine, in overseas service; Okle, who was graduated from the Carthage Academy, in 1917, is at home ; and is the wife of Richard Barnard, of Chicago, attending a dental college, and Kenneth, who is attending the high schools. The family all belong to the Christian Church. Mr. Mosley belongs to Hancock Lodge No. 201, the Odd Fellows and the Modern Woodmen of America.

S. and Laura (Sipes) Mote, natives of Illinois, now living retired at Augusta. Wil- liam Chester Mote attended the public schools of Hamilton, Mo., and was graduated from its high school. He then commenced farming, and has continued in this line ever since, coming on his present farm about 1908.

MOYES, David, one of the highly esteemed men of Hancock County, is now living retired at Pontoosic, but was formerly actively engaged along agricultural lines, and still owns valuable land in the county. He was born at Edinboro, Scotland. February 29, 1844, a son of David and Mary (Ross) Moyes, who in 1856, left Scotland and crossed the Atlantic ocean in a sailing vessel. As their trip only took twenty-eight days, they were considered fortunate in making what was then a remarkably quick passage. They came direct to Hancock County, and located in Pontoosic, where the father worked at his trade of a carpenter until his death, which occurred February 28, 1889, and having been born in 1814. His wife was born in 1822, and died in 1879. Their children were as follows: Alex- andra, who was Mrs. Silas Byler, is now de- ceased ; David; James, who lives in Dallas Township ; and John, who lives in Pontoosic.
David Moyes learned the trade of a carpenter under his father, and after his marriage, be- came a contractor and had contracts for build- ing operations all over his locality. In the meanwhile Mrs. Moyes inherited forty acres of land, of which all but seven acres were under cultivation, and in 1903 he began farming, and conducted his farm until 1913, when he rented this land, and since then has lived retired at Pontoosic.
On November S, 1880, Mr. Moyes was married to Cordelia Leavitt, born in Pontoosic, November 5, 1850, a daughter of Hezekiah and Mary S. (Horn) Leavitt, natives of Maine and New Hampshire, respectively. As young people the parents of Mrs. Moyes came to Pontoosic, where

His regiment then went to Chattanooga, Tenn., and thence to Columbus, Ga., serving as rear guard in protecting the railroads for General Sherman's army on the march to the sea. Mr. Moyes was mustered out at Columbus, Ga., January 24, 1866, and dis- charged at Springfield, Ill.
MULCH, Charles, at one time manager of the Spaulding Academy, and one of the leading men of Nauvoo, holds the confidence and esteem of the best element of Hancock County. He was born in Hancock County, Ill., December 3, 1863, a son of Henry and Jenetta (Emmal) Mulch, born at Elsa, Germany, who came to the United States in 1859, and located on a farm they bought in Warsaw Township, Hancock County, where the father died. Although a great horse- man and used to driving, he met with an ac- cident that resulted ten weeks later in his death, while driving a team of spirited horses. He was thrown from the wagon and injured his spinal column.
Losing his father when he was only twelve years old, Charles Mulch was forced to assume the position of a bread winner, and did every- thing he could to assist his mother. Securing a job at $12 per month, he used to get up at four in the morning in order to attend to all the day held for him. For seven years he con- tinued with his first employer, Peter Reinbold, who was very good to his youthful employe, al- though he did not give him any opportunity to attend school. However, being very quick and ambitious. Mr. Mulch learned by experience and through observation. At the termination of his seven years of service, Mr. Mulch bought a blind horse and a colt, rented his employer's farm, and little by little bought it. During the period he was trying to get a start, he did everything he could find to do, and did not scorn the small- est opportunity to add to his savings. He now has twenty acres devoted to grapes, and 600 apple trees, and also owns several acres that he uses for farm purposes, being a fruitgrower and farmer. In addition he owns property at Nauvoo. The original residence, once owned by
a Mormon, Mason Hall, is still on the property, but Mr. Mulch has it entirely remodeled.
In July, 1893, Mr. Mulch was married at Chi- cago, to Julia F. Beecher, born at Nauvoo. Her father was a third cousin of Henry Ward Beecher, the eminent divine. Mr. and Mrs. Mulch have one daughter, Arline Roseland. Mr. Mulch is a member of the Lutheran Church and his wife and daughter of the Catholic Church. In politics he is a Republican, and served three years as city marshall, and for several terms was a school director. Fraternally he is an Odd Fellow and belongs also to the Eagles. Mr. Mulch assumed charge of Spaulding Academy, and through his efforts made this one of the leading educational institutions of the Middle West and placed it on a sound financial basis. Few men in their lives have demonstrated more thoroughly than Mr. Mulch, the value of con- centrated and persistent effort, coupled with in- dustry and thrift.
