- Excerpts from the writings of Evelyn Mosch Howell -
“The Mosch family migrated from a place far away and over the ocean” says Otto Mosch. “He called that place the Old Country. He referred, of course to Germany. More specifically, he referred to Saxony and to Lippersdorf, the little town where his father was born on November 12, 1859.”
Otto realized at an early age that the Mosch family did not always live in Germania and he “began to see for a fact that there is an Old World and there is a New World; there is an old way to live and there is a new way to live.” Herman Carl Mosch “began to explain about a time when life was not good. He referred to the bad times that led his father, Karl Herman Mosch, to make the decision to leave Germany. That was 1870, the onset of the Franco-Prussian War which was yet another unsettling event in the conflict over German leadership. The continual unrest was a despair to the citizens, especially to my Grandfather Karl who had a strong will to direct his life, as well as a desire for a suitable environment where his growing children could direct theirs. Grandfather and Grandmother Caroline with their four children joined the masses of emigrants going to America for a better life."
