Anton A. Mosman, father of A. B. Mosman, prominent-Carroll
business man, died suddenly Monday afternoon, December 24, at 5:45
o'clock when within a short distance from his home on North Clark
street. He was returning from town, where he had been making some

Mr. Mosman was born at Entscheide, Holland, September 28, 1856,
and came to America with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Mosman, and the
remaining members of the family when he was 16 years old. They went
directly to Chicago and remained there a short time before locating on a
farm near Roselle.
Anton Mosman came from a family of fourteen children. He learned
the painting trade, which he followed for many years. During later
years, until his retirement two years ago, ho was a flag man at the
Chicago Great Western crossing on Carroll street. Always friendly, he
was popular at his post and was alert to the safety of the men, women
and children, whom he considered under his protection.
Mr. Mosman was married December 5, 1885, to Miss Helena Tuttman.
Eight children were born to them. One daughter, Anna, died when an
infant of 10 months. The surviving children are John, of Jersey City, N.
J.; A. B. Mosman, Carroll; Will, Carroll; Fred, Carroll; Joe, Davenport;
Mrs. Mary Gettier, Carroll, and Adelaide, at home. He is also survived
by his wife and a brother, Henry Mosman, of Washington state, and two
sisters, Mary and Lizzie Mosman, of Los Angeles, Calif.
