Helen Birdsey Peck lived to see her fifth genera- tion, so we see that God, whom they feared and trusted, led them out of their privations, trials and hardships into years of long life and prosperity, that they might have a foretaste of the blessings of peace and prosperity that was dawning on the land of the free and the home of the brave.

He was a prosperous, upright farmer and attorney, wielding a great influence in local affairs. He was admitted to practice in the court of com- mon pleas, 1847, after a thorough examination by a committee. He did not practice in the court of records, but was one of the most active and successful practitioners of his day in jus- tice's courts, a form of practice in that day that occupied the attention of many good lawyers. Among these Mr. Mosher was the recognized leader. He moved from Hoosick Falls, Rens- selaer county, New York, to the town of Mid- dlebury, Wyoming county, New York, and from there moved to Leon, Cattaraugus county, where he was among the early pioneers.

Before at- taining his majority the civil war was in prog- ress and his great desire was to go to the front and do battle with the enemies of his country ; made three attempts to enlist, but each time was refused. He adopted farming as his occupation, which he followed for sev-
eral years, also becoming a cheese manufac- turer. He was inspector of elections; justice of the peace, and in 1877 was appointed deputy sheriff and keeper of the county jail. He served until 1880, when he was elected sheriff of the county, holding office 1880-81-82. He was under sheriff in 1883-84-85. He served one term as supervisor of Little Valley town- ship.

He was educated in the public schools of Leon, his native town, and decided upon the profession of law, influenced no doubt by his father's success in that profession. He read law with Mr. Woodbury and pursued his studies at home under the guidance of his father. At the age of eighteen years he began trying cases in the justice's courts, quite often with his father, Benjamin Mosher, as his oppo- nent. He pursued his legal studies for several years in connection with his practice before deciding to seek admission as an attorney in courts of record. In 1873 he began a clerkship in the law office of Congdon & Congdon, in Randolph, and in 1876 was admitted to the bar. He opened an office in Leon, then re- moved to Little Valley, the county seat. His brother, Gilbert L. Mosher, was then sheriff of Cattaraugus county, and he served under him for three years as deputy sheriff in charge of the county jail. He then resumed his law prac- tice in Little Valley, continuing until his death in 1908. He was a man of high character, conscientious and faithful to his clients' inter- ests, and uniformly successful in his legal practice.

Mrs. Mercy A. (Ross) Mosher is a daugh- ter of Ahiman, son of David, son of Alex- ander Ross, of Scotch birth, born 1693, died 1813, at the very great age of one hundred and twenty years. Of his first marriage or children we have no record, but at the age of seventy- five years he married a woman forty-five years his junior, and according to the first census of the United States, taken in 1790, he was then living in Ballston, Saratoga, then Albany county, having in his family four sons and two daughters over sixteen years of age.

(VIII) Edward Alburn, son of Rev. Levi A. and Laura (Patterson) Skinner, was born in Erie county, New York, May 10, 1841. When he was thirteen years of age his parents moved to Westfield, Chautauqua county, New York. In October, 1861, the Ninth Regiment New York Volunteer Cavalry was organized in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties, and was camped at Westfield, New York, awaiting marching orders. Edward A. Skinner enlisted in this regiment November 7, 1861. A little later the regiment joined McClellan's army near Washington, and served there and on the peninsula, unmounted, until March, 1862, when it returned to Washington to be mount- ed. It was then assigned to Siegel's corps, under Pope's command, serving through the unsatisfactory and indecisive campaign of the summer of 1862. After Pope's retreat to Washington the Ninth Regiment joined the cavalry corps of the Army of the Potomac and served throughout the campaign of 1863 in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Early in his army life Mr. Skinner was detailed to act as regimental quartermaster, and during much of the time he discharged the duties of brigade quartermaster. Because of ill health he was honorably discharged from the service in March, 1864, and returned to Westfield. In October, 1864, he accepted the position of assistant cashier of the First National Bank of Westfield, being promoted in a few years to the office of cashier. In 1870 he assisted in organizing the First National Bank of Ottawa, Kansas, and was its managing officer several years. In 1873 he visited Europe, where he spent several months.

more took up his residence in Westfield, be- coming vice-president of the First National Bank. Two years later, upon the death of his father, he became president of the bank, a position which he has held since 1876. He has acquired an enviable reputation as an able, conservative banker, and under his wise guid- ance the bank has had an unusually successful existence. In 1878 he joined the Royal Ar- canum and was one of the organizers of the grand council of the state of New York, in 1879; he was the first representative from New York to the supreme council, and was elected to the important office of supreme treasurer of the order in 1880. He is a member of the Presbyterian church, the Grand Army of the Republic and the Loyal Legion. He has always been a Republican, and for three years represented Westfield on the board of county supervisors, the only public office he has ever accepted. His thirty-five years of continuous service as president of the National Bank of Westfield has proved his sterling worth and has won him high rank among the financiers of Western New York. His services to the Royal Arcanum were so highly appreciated that upon his retirement from the office of supreme treasurer in 1910, after thirty years continuous service, he was made a life member of the supreme council.
