Dr George Sackett Mosteller VVeteran
Birth
9 Nov 1822
Franklin County, Indiana, USA
Death
11 Nov 1904 (aged 82)
Pittsburg, Crawford County, Kansas, USA
Burial
Walnut Cemetery
Walnut, Crawford County, Kansas, USA
Dr. G.S. Mosteller, aged 82 years and 2 days , died Friday, November 11th, 1904 at 6 o'clock a.m. at the home of his son Frank Mosteller, 219 West Park avenue,Pittsburg, Kansas, of general debility. A short service was held at the residence Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock, after which the remains were taken to the Santa Fe depot for shipment to Walnut, Kansas. Funeral services were conducted at the M.E. church in Walnut by Rev. R.P. Hamonds, of Baldwin, Kansas at 12:15p.m. and the remains were laid to rest in the Walnut cemetery by the side of his wife.
Dr. Mosteller was a native of Indiana, and a graduate of the Jacksonville, Illinois, school of medicine, and practiced for a number of years. A short time after his graduation he enlisted in a Chicago regiment in the Mexican war as surgeon, and marched overland from Fort Leavenworth to Santa Fe, Mexico. After the war he located in Illinois and for years he was one of the leading physicians in Mason county, Illnois. He finally grew weary of the practice of medicine, and in June, 1866, came to Kansas and located on a farm in Walnut, and in September of the same year returned to Illinois and moved his family to their new home.
He came to Kansas for the express purpose of getting away from the practice of medicine and upon his arrival here he hung up his saddle bags amd laid away his instruments as souvenirs of his earlier life. His record followed him, however, and as doctors were scarce in those days he was practically forced back into the pratice of his profession from a humantarion standpoint, as much as from anything else, and continued it until 1883, when his home was destroyed by fire together with his instruments and professional outfit. He administered to the sick occasionally after that, but the fire practically ended his professional career.
Death claimed his beloved wife in June 1899, and for the past several years he has made his home with his son in the city. In Feburary, 1861 he was united in marriage with Miss Rosa Reece while living in Illinois, and to them were born five children two of whom died in infancy.
The surviving children are Frank Mosteller and Miss Ida M and Mary Mosteller, all of this city.
Mr. Mosteller was a Mason having joined the Havana lodge No.88 of Havana, Illinois, in Feburary 1850, which made him one of the oldest living Masons in these parts at the time of his death. He was also a member of the Methodist church of eighteen years standing. He was a highly esteemed citizen and was firm in his convictions of right and wrong.
He was one of the pioneer settlers.
