Joseph Matevia

Joseph Matevia married Addie Dell Place, she was the sister of Pearl
Florence Place.  Pearl was the mother of Stanley Proctor,
making Joseph his uncle.  They had a son, Glenn, (see notes), who was
one year older than Stanley, cousins, and they often played together during
visits with the familes.

Joe Matevia was the person that got Harvey Proctor into the Watkins
Liniment business.  According to Joe a person could make a lot of money selling
Watkins products, this was probaly true if you spent enough time at it.
However Uncle Joe, who always seemed to have a lot of money and was a big
talker, didn't get his money from selling Watkins products, he had a full time
bar tending job, that no one knew about untill much later.  He only sold
Watking products on the side.  When Harvey tried to get into selling Watkins
products full time he soon learned that there wasn't much money in it.  (Refer
to the detailed Memories by Stanley Proctor for information on this part of the
Proctor family life.)

Joe was killed in an accident with a street car in 1915 or 16.  Aunt Addie and
their boys lived in Plymouth for several years.

Charles Louis A. Wilson

Charles was on the farm with his father and then continued in the
establishment of the Wilson Dairy Co. Even though his father, Ira kept the
purse strings on the operation, Charles became the real driving force behind
the expansion and success of the Creamery.  It became one of the biggest
in Detroit during the 1930s into the 1950s, finally bought out by Sealtest.
He became a very wealthy person during this time, however there was not much
contact between him and the rest of the Proctor family.  Some of the Proctors
did go to Wilson activities every time they had a chance, and when Pearl
Proctor died, Charles son came to the funeral and everyone thought that it was
very nice that he did, as Charlie was too old to make the trip.

28594. Edward Adams Mosher

Edward Adams Mosher writes his autobiography (in 1993) as follows: The
"Old Stone Face", sometimes known as "The Big Banana" (at Lauderdale)
was born in the Adams home in Sandwich, Illinois. The family moved to
the Mosher home on Lisbon Street about a year and a half later.  We
were a happy and lucky family, with very supportive parents.  Not rich
and not poor, but always comfortable.  I was the "black sheep," if
any, of the family.  In contrast to my brothers, I was temperamental,
unpredictable, and the biggest worry for my parents.  With early-on
asthma, I was always in questionable health and was certain that I
would not reach half of my present age (83). Walloon Lake in northern
Michigan was our second home.  I was originally carried there at age
1u and subsequently spent some 30 summers there. This was the
background for finding a summer home within range of Chicago.  We
considered our Lauderdale Lakes home, outside of Elkhorn, Wisconsin,
the best for our kids, and far preferable to joining a country club. I
graduated from Sandwich Township High School in the Class of 1928 and
was one of only two out of thirty-two who went to college.  I
graduated from Oberlin College in 1932 with a major in economics.  I
took several varied classes in the Chicago area and one summer school
session at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.  I obtained an MBA
from the University of Chicago, Executive Program #3 in 1947.  Dorothy
typed my papers and attended the graduation with Jan in Rockefeller
Chapel.  It was always assumed that I would go to Harvard Business
School.  But '32 was the great depression, and Dad put it up to me --
"You have first choice, but if you go to Harvard, Hank cannot attend
medical school until you are through."  Actually, he was skeptical of
the value of graduate business school. I was offered a tellers job in
a Cleveland bank. but instead accepted a trainee job with Armour &
Co., which folded before it started.  I doubled back to Cleveland but
the job was gone.  I spent eight months looking all over for a job.  I
finally took a job for a year and a half with J & R Motor supply -
four months in a Chicago warehouse and then in their Aurora store,
living with Chuck and Harriet.  I then took a stint as an insurance
broker (an awful job) for eight months It was 20 below zero and I was
sick and tired of my job and with life in general.  I had lunch with a
college friend in Marshall Field & Co. and stalling for time, I
wandered around the store.  I wound up with a job as a Floor Manager.
This was in February 1936 and I left Marshall Field's voluntarily in
August 1972 after 36u years.  I gained lots of experience at Field's
but ended up as Assistant Personnel Manager and Manager of Central
Personnel Services.  Actually, in the end I was wearing about five
hats. Jan was, in my opinion, a great partner and a fine mother.  Our
families were very happy when we were married, as she was Het's
sister.  My family heaved a great sigh of relief to see me finally
settle down.  Our social life centered around the Park Ridge
University Club and a Duplicate Bridge group. We had many friends. My
second marriage was something short of a complete success, however we
got along, had some fine times together, and some great trips.  Our
backgrounds were direct opposites, and this cramped our social life.
She was brought up in a Brooklyn apartment, never had children, and
hardly knew her neighbors.  I was a small town kid, knew and mixed
with everybody and was family oriented. My third marriage (I was never
meant to live alone) is a great success. This time it was a case of
picking out a "known quantity." Dorothy knew me well, and also my
family.  We share a good many friends from our Marshall Field days.
Jan and I moved to Sun City, Arizona in 1973 after realizing that
there was really no reason to go on shoveling snow and that although
we didn't realize it, a good number of our friends had already
relocated here.

(at Lying-In Hospital)

(at Jewish Home and Hospital)

Jim attended Oberlin College (BA, 1962, majored in government) and
Columbia Law School (LLB, 1965).  He lived in New York City beginning
in 1962 practicing entertainment law.  He contracted lung cancer in
early 2005 and died of cardiac arrest from complications resulting
from radiation treatment and chemotherapy.  He was well respected
within the legal community and was very active in the Alcoholics
Anonymous organization in New York.  He was always a friend to be
counted on in times of need, dropping whatever he was doing to help
out.


28595. Charles Adams Mosher

Charles Adams Mosher (Chuck) attended Oberlin College in the class of
1928 majoring in philosophy.  He attended Columbia Graduate School in
the summer of 1928.  He married Harriet Mary Johnson on October 5,
1929 just before the stock market crash.  He worked in the advertising
department of the daily papers in Aurora Ill. and Janesville Wis. from
1929 to 1940. In 1940 he purchased the Oberlin News Tribune weekly
newspaper in Oberlin, Ohio where he served as Editor and Publisher
from 1940 to 1962.  In 1950 he was elected to the Ohio Senate where he
served five 2-year terms. One of the highlights of his life in Oberlin
was the year when Marja Heina from Finland lived with them as an
American Field Service Exchange Student from 1954-1955.  They kept in
touch with her and her family in Finland and her two daughters became
like grandchildren. In 1960 Chuck was elected to the U.S. Congress
from the 13th District of Ohio where he served eight terms for a total
of sixteen years. His most noted contributions as a Congressman were
his service as a member and, for some years, ranking minority member
of the Committee on Science and Astronautics.  His experiences in
dealing with technological issues as a non-technically trained member
led to his co-sponsoring the legislation establishing the Office of
Technological Assessment (OTA).  His positions in congress were:
1969-77 - Ranking Minority Member of the Oceanography and Merchant
Marine Committee 1972-77 - Ranking Minority Member of the Science and
Technology Committee 1972-77 - Ranking Minority Member on the
Governing board of the Office of Technology Assessment Upon his
retirement he was widely quoted in the press for "Mosher's Law" which
was: "Better to retire too early than too late." Following his
retirement (?) he taught graduate seminars from January to September
1977 at George Washington and American Universities in Washington D.C.
In September 1977 he became Executive Director of the Science and
Technology Committee.  From 1979 until a heart attack in 1980, he
served as a Fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington, DC. In 1982 he
returned to Oberlin, Ohio where he finished a Master's degree in
government which he had been unable to complete when he was first
elected to Congress and on May 30, 1983 received his Masters Degree
and an Honorary Dr. of Laws degree from Oberlin College.  Chuck was
the oldest individual at the time ever to be awarded an earned degree
from Oberlin and the first to be awarded both an honorary and an
earned degree at the same time. Charles A. Mosher was hospitalized on
November 4 and died on November 16, 1984 of congestive heart failure
at the age of 78.
