[766] The company was finally divided, part becoming cavalry, the rest remaining as infantry. He remained in the infantry division, which he reported to Colonel Williams at Newberry, where the end of the war found him in command of his company, still ranking, however, as second lieutenant. No member of the company, either officer or private, was over eighteen years old. Since the war his attention has been given to merchandise, banking, farming, and railroad business. He is a member of the firm of Moseley Bros., extensive general merchants of Prosperity, and is also a member of the banking firm of Moseley & Brown, of that place. He owns a fine country seat and farm, upon which he resides, near Prosperity, and is vice-president of the Columbia, Newberry & Laurens railroad, of which he was president for three and a half years. He has also given considerable attention to the sawmilling and lumber business. Ever since the war Mr. Moseley has had for a business partner his only brother, William A. Moseley, slightly younger than himself. Starting after the war with one dollar each they have built up a prosperous business. Mr. Moseley is a member of James D. Nance camp, U. C. V., of Newberry, chairman of the board of trustees of Prosperity high school, and has been intendant for the town for two years. He was married, July 30, 1872, to Miss Carrie L. Brown, daughter of George Brown, of Newberry county, and they have two daughters living.

Warren W. Moss, sheriff of Oconee county, S. C., was born in that county April 3, 1836, and is the son of Martin and Rebecca (Cox) Moss.

In July, 1861, he joined Company E, Orr's regiment of rifles, in which he served as private and sergeant to the end of the war, surrendering at Appomattox. He was in the battles of Seven Pines, Seven Days fight, Second Manassas, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Deep Bottom, Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House, siege of Petersburg, and Five Forks. He was wounded at Deep Bottom and at Chancellorsville, and was captured April 3, 1865, his birthday, and after the surrender was imprisoned at Hart's island. He returned home July 1, 1865, and commenced farming. He has served three terms as county commissioner and is now serving his second term
