Researcher's Comment on Harnish and Moser Families (1996):2228 "I have looked and looked for John Moser's deate of death (i.e. his tombstone). I traipsed all over the area where he may have been buried - with a man who was copying cemeteries in the area. We never did come up with anything. I am sometimes inclined to think he was buried in a cemetery which may hve been destroyed / removed when they built US Rt. 70 north of Washington, PA. In a preacher's diary (don't recall he preacher's name off hand), he mentions that he accompanied a man named Harnish to John Moser's three miles from the city where he preached in John Moser's barn. Harnish was related to John Moser in some way. Just now I cannot put my hands on the reference." [Note: Christian Harnish's wife Elizabeth was the niece of John Mosser.]
