Biography

Birth2 May 1855Howard Moser was born on 2 May 1855 in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.1,2
Baptism3 June 1856He was baptized on 3 June 1856 at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 330 Ferry Street, in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. parents Isaac and Ellen Moser, sponsor Catherine Eshenbach.

On Findagrave, his name is listed as Howard Benjamin Moser.2
Census9 June 1860He appeared in the household of Isaac Moser in the census 9 June 1860 at Lehigh Ward in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Isaac is listed as age 44, Tailor, $2000 personal estate and $4000 real estate. With Ellen, age 44, Wilson age 15, Richard age 10, Howard, age 5 and Forest, age 1.3
LostFather14 April 1865On 14 April 1865 Howard Moser suffered the loss of his father Isaac who died at age 48 . An Isaac Moser died on this date. The church in which it was recorded is the church where our Isaac's children were baptized. And our Isaac does not appear in the 1870 census, and his children are dispersed among various other families. So I conjecture that this is our Isaac, even though the register lists his birth date as 1 Jan 1816, and his father as Henry. Check to see if there was a marriage between Henry Moser and a Catherine, and if they had an Isaac.4
LostMother5 July 1867On 5 July 1867 Howard Moser suffered the loss of his mother Ellen who died at age 47 . Listed as "Ellen Moser, nee Weber, born 27 Nov 1819, died 5 Jul 1867." This is listed in the Zion Lutheran Church records, which is not the church she attended at least through 1864 when the last baptism of one of her children is found there. It was a downtown church which merged into St. John's ELC in 1962. This is likely to be the same Ellen. Weber is the German word for Weaver, and Zion is referred to as the German-speaking church on the St. John's website.5,6
Census1870He appeared in the census 1870 in Glendon, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Howard is listed as: age 15, living in the household of Daniel and Catharine Richard, and their two small children. The record is unfortunately unreadable, but it may say domestic servant. There are several families of Richard's in a row.7
Marriage23 September 1875He and Delina Flint were married on 23 September 1875 at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania,8
Newspaper Mention23 September 1875The 23 September 1875 edition of the Easton Argus, Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, reported "Howard Moser married Delina J. Flint, both of Easton."9
