∼this is a duplicate to memorial # 101352392. I am leaving this memorial until the other one has the spelling corrected. They spelled the last name as Mosely. apparently it was spelled this way previously.
His wife was Jane Elizabeth Phipps born 10 Dec 1920 in Los Angeles County, CA. She died 10 Jan 2014 in Yucaipa, San Bernardino Co. CA. It is possible that her death year has been entered since the photo was taken.
