For those that are perhaps seeing these transcriptions for the first time, the transcriptions may give on first glance, the appearance of a great many typos, so I feel obligated to explain that the abundance of y, m, and d represent abbreviations for year, month and day. Although you will find most engravers follow similar patterns, it seems there are several different abbreviations used to represent these three time terms including: y, yr, yrs, yr's & years; m. mo, mos, mo's, and months; d. da, das, da's, and days and on rare occasions, h, hr, hrs, hr's, and hours. I tend not to use commas except to separate surname from given name, given name from date, except where found on actual inscription, same goes for the [.] (period). When you see the symbol [_] (underscore), I use it to represent missing or unreadable letters, or if a lot of letters are unreadable I may express it by several periods, such as Jos...h . Sometimes you will find raised letters such as "c" in surnames such as in McClain, or if the engraver added smaller letters that were left out and added later, when I encounter them, tend to express them, when possible, as found on the stone. Sometimes engravers will use the term Æ or æ, this is just a term that generally replaces the word "aged". One last comment, all actual text found engraved, will come first in bold text. All comments, observations, personal knowledge remarks added by submitter, concerning an individual, but not inscribed on stone, will then proceed in regular text. ~R.M.Sizelove~
| Moser, Phillip, Jr. Christian Phillip Moser (known as Phillip, Jr.) was the son of Phillip & MArgaret (Jaeger) Moser of Adams Twp. The writing on his memorial is very difficult to read. He was born July 11, 1853 [note: church records give the 10th] He died Feb. 2, 1876. There's a verse below which was too worn to read. Though his parents and grandparents were known to have been buried here, his is the only grave that still exists for the Moser family. There are additional sides on the stone that may have contained engravings, but now worn away or were never used and plots nearby are without headstones. I believe that the others, Phillip & his first and second wives, Margaret (Bernard) Moser & Margaret (Jaeger) Moser, and both Daniel & Catherine (Wendering) Moser, Phillip's parents are buried here also. There was also at least one infant son of Phillip & the seconde Margaret, John Henry, who may be here as well. |
