Taken from "The History of Dubuque": " For forty-five years a resident of Dubuque County, is a native of Luxembourg, Germany, his birth occurring January 21, 1846. He was reared to manhood in his native country, receiving a practical education, and when twenty years of age, crossed the ocean to the U.S. and has ever since made his home in Dubuque, County. For ten years he was employed in the Rockdale mills, but immediately after the disastrous flood of July 1876, at which time 39 people lost their lives, he found the business now conducted on the same site by his two sons, John and Anton. He continued in active business until October 1906, since which time he has been retired from the more active cares of life. 1n 1871 Mr. Moes married Anna Arnoldy, a native of Chicago, and ten children have been born to this union as follows: Anna. married and living in Springfield, Illinois; John, who with a younger brother conducts the business founded by his father; Margaret, single and residing with her parents; Charles, accidently killed in a quarry; Mary, married and resides in Ottumwa, Iowa; Dr. M.J. a practicing physician of Dubuque; Anton associated in business with his elder brother; William, a clerk in the post office at Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Fred, a bookkeeper in the Second National Bank at Dubuque and Alvin attending Dubuque High School.
