Obit: Henry Mozingo The Saturday Review Mar. 17, 1888

From files of Belinda Carrol:
Henry Mozingo walked to Decatur County in 1832; he entered land four miles south of Greensburg. He built a log cabin, then he returned to Kentucky. In the spring of 1833, he brought his family to Decatur County. He had 15 children of his own and even helped raise his daughter's (Jeannettia's) four children. During his life, Henry accumulated quite a large estate. In 1864, he had a very valuable farm one mile west of Greensburg, but through overconfidence and believing all men honest, he endorsed for men who were not--and by this endorsement, he lost of his hard-worked-for earnings--about $18,000, but enough was left to settle all claims.

Henry Mozingo

Henry Mozingo was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky on December 18, 1809 , and died on Sunday , March 11th , 1888, aged seventy nine years two months and twenty four days, after an illness begun by blood poisoning and devoloping into pneumonia and kidney trouble.

He came to decatur county in 1832, while it was almost a wilderness, and worked for John Hillis on the farm now owned by Alexander Hillis. In the fall of 1832 he returned to Kentucky , but came back in the
following spring and located permanently in the same locality where he first labored.

On May 12th, 1836 . He married to Miss Elizabeth R. Pemberton, (great-grandmother of Jeannette Boring Wo??? daughter of Thomas C. Pemberton . Through the energies of his own mind and body and by the assistance of his good wife. Mr. Mozingo succeeded in few years time in accummulating a considerable estate and in 1864 owned a large and very valuable farm of which the Cole farm, one mile southwest of this city of Greensburg, Indiana. was a part. Beleiving all men's papers as security and by this means lost $18,000 , but satisfied all claims.

At present his family, besides his widow, consists of two sons and seven daughters , all married; Seven children have proceeded him to the land beyond the grave. John Mozingo, the last one, having died in Kansas but a few months since.

The deceesed joined the Baptist Church under ministry of uncle of his wife. Rev. Matthew Elder, about 1850 and was a faithful member of that congregation until its dissolution a few years ago, when he and
his wife transferred their letter to Mt. Pleasant. M. E. Church.

The funeral services were held at the house, at ten o' clock last Tuesday morning, and were conducted by Rev. J. A. Kirkpatrick. The remains were laid to rest in Sandcreek Cemetr. Attended by a large
concourse of sorrow relatives and friends.

Mr. Mozingo's death removes another one of our pioneers from us and deprives us of an honest, honored Christian man. For fifty- three years he has been a reader of the STANDARD and our relations have been mutually pleasant. After a long and eventful life he sleeps well. May he wake to love and peace and receive his reward of life everlasting.

the following is what i typed from the files in the library in greensburg. some are letters and some are obits. chris

On October 27, 1893 being the 76th anniversary at the birth of Mrs.
Henry Mozingo, of Greensburg, Ind. Who is here on a visit and the
67th anniversary of Mrs. Thomas Clemons , early in the morning many
guest were seen wending their way to the Clemons homestead, nearnear
Colemansville, Ky, to do honor on the occasion. Among the number were
W.T. Martin and wife of Greensburg ,Ind. Capt. Mosingo and wife ,
C.P. Wheat of Corineth, Ky. . Mrs. Robinson of Boyds Ky. and the
children of Mrs. Clemons-W.H. Clemons, Mrs. Blackburn, of
Falmouth,Ky. and Mrs. Collier of Colmansville Ky. You may be sure
that all enjoyed the day in their amusements and old stories of by-
gone days. The Fattted Southdown lamb was killed, besides several
Shanghi Turkeys or chickens, the writer failed to learn which, as he
was so busily engaged with eating of other good things.The day will
long be remembered by those who were so lucky as to be present. Part
of the guests remained over night, and the others returned to their
homes wishing the old ones many such occasions.
Mrs.W.T. Martin of Greensburg Indiana and Mrs. Mozingo , who have
been visiting relatives and friends here for some time, have very
much improved to health since their sojourn here. but W. T. Martin
says he is not feeling so well, he having had several collisions-
coming in contact with so many loaded tables and some of old Kentucky
Democracy, which reminds him of old war days when Kirby Smith was in
the country , when the skeedaddlers would find a large basketfuls of
eatables in some thicket and look over in the road near by would see
Kirby Smith's men.
Hurrah for McKinley!
