Newspaper Clipping: Car Accident, Mayor - Dies in Stambough, Mich., Tuesday - Body Brought Back for Funeral.
Mayor Wm. Moser, Civic Leader and community builder, died in the hospital at Strambough, Mich, following a car accident. Mr. Moser and a brother, Rudolph of Badger, were motoring to Michigan to visit a brother, Carl. The party with Rudolph driving, was going slowly around a curve when a tire blew out. Mr. Moser grabbed the emergency brake, the brakes locked, causing the car to tilt, then settle again only to turn over and slide on top of and into a pile of rocks. Mayor Moser's head hit on the top of the car and was thrown to the side, tearing the spinal cord. Boys from a CCC camp in front of which the tragedy occurred, came to the rescue and rushed the victims to the hospital. Rudolph and Carl sustained slight injuries.
For several days Mr. Moser hovered between life and death and sometimes his condition seemed improved, but he passed away quietly, remaining conscious to the end. His wife and family had all been down to see him. Carl Listug motored down to Strambough with the hearse Tuesday and will return with the body. Henry Moser and Leslie Beaulieu went to get Mrs. Moser.
Besides being an active participant in community affairs, Mr. Moser figured in social and church affairs. He served as Past Grand Patriarch of the Odd Fellows encampment and as Past Grant of the Subordinate lodge. He was a member of the Woodmen Lodge and a member of the Catholic Church of Roseau.
The Northern Minnesota Leader joins the many friends of the family in extending its sympathy to the bereaved mourners of one of the staunchest men in the community. Mr. Moser came to the United States in 1900. After arriving, he first worked in Michigan. He founded the town of Klectzen, where he had homesteaded and established a post office, store and feed grinding business there. He came to Roseau in 1921 and purchased the Roseau Flour Mill from F.J. Cooke; but he found the launching of his business difficult because the farmers were rather disdainful and wouldn't sell him wheat. Through perseverance he finally created a good business and has maintained one ever since. The mill and the miller were good for the community; the famers were always sure of an over price for their grain.
At the time of his death Mr. Moser was serving his second term of Mayor. Thought his career, he has shown wonderful leadership being the chief instrument in getting the city hall started. He figured in every progressive undertaking of the town, and his sound advise was frequently sought. He had been on the school board for three years.
Mayor Moser married Miss Katrine Kaml of Klectzen in 1904. She died November 25, 1923. To this union were born Willie of St. Charles, MO, John of Roseau, Fred of Minneapolis: Mrs. Mary Shimpa of Badger; Whlhelmina.
On August 12, 1925, he married Martha Bertina Hendrickson. To this union were born Wenzel and Bertha. She passed away May 16, 1931.
He married Mrs. Emma Beaulieu of Superior in August 1931.
