v Charles jfrankltn Jttosstr v HARLES FRANKLIN MOSSER was born on November 14, 1867, in the City of Allentown, Pa. His father, William F. Mosser, was a well-known, highly respected and successful business man, and his mother was Louisa (Seiberling) Mosser, who, as well as her husband, was connected with the best families in Lehigh County. Mr. Mosser received a common school education which he completed in 1885, when he entered his father’s iron foundry and went through a three year’s apprenticeship in the machineshop. He was married April 16, 1890, to Miss Flora Bohlen. In January 1903, upon the death of his father, he became owner of the foundry and machineshop, keeping in connection with the firm, Mr. John Greenall, under which from seventy-five to one hundred men find constant employment. Mr. Mosser is a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church, in which he has served as deacon and elder, and has been a Trustee of Muhlenberg College since 1906, and has served all of that time on the Executive Committee. When Muhlen- berg College was planning to buy additional land for her Preparatory School, Mr. Mosser generously volunteered and presented to the College his check in payment of over fifteen acres of ground adjoining the college property. Mr. Mosser is well beloved by his friends for his straight-forward frankness, his sincerity, his liberality, his kindli- ness, in which no service is too much, and through which he is ever ready to help and aid. He is a man of sterling worth and high business principles and presents the best type of progressive business-man in our community. 5
