NORBERT G.
MOSHER
NORBERT G. MOSHER.--A progressive rancher, vitally interested in his county, is Norbert G. Mosher, born June 21, 1888, on Andrus Island, Sacramento County, Cal. His father, William Mosher, was born in 1859 in Minnesota, and came to California in 1877. Here he married Catherine Glenn, a native of Iowa, and they settled down on a ranch at Andrus by the Sacramento River. Here he put in many years of hard labor, acquiring 280 acres and following the life of a farmer until his death. He passed away when he was but forty-eight years of age. His faithful wife is now residing at her ranch north of Hood, Cal. They were the parents of seven children: Norbert G., Frances, Gretta, William, Myrtle, Carmel, and a child Vernie, who died at four years.
Norbert G. Mosher attended the Jefferson grammar school in Yolo County and the Brothers’ College at Sacramento, where he was graduated in 1905. On December 9, 1914, in Sacramento, he married Matilda Fisher, born at Walsh Station, Sacramento County, the daughter of H. S. and Charlotte Fisher. Her father was a farmer, owning a thirty-acre ranch in District No. 744. Matilda Fisher received her education in the Sacramento High School. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Mosher moved to their Tyler Island ranch, of eighty-four acres, owned by his mother, which is devoted to the raising of fruit and asparagus, and the responsibility for the management of this ranch rests upon Mr. Mosher. He and his wife are the parents of one daughter, Carmel Rose. Politically, Norbert G. Mosher is a Republican. Fraternally, he is a member of Sacramento Lodge No. 6, B. P. O. E., and the Modern Woodmen of America, at Franklin.
