William 'Bill' Mosier
William "Bill" Mosier, 78, died Monday (May 7,
2007) at his residence in North Newton.
He was born Feb. 3, 1929, to Earl F. and Zora M. (Scott)
Mosier at Crestline. They precede him in death.
He served in the U.S. Marine Corps and later worked as a railroader.
He held varied jobs with the railroad throughout his career.
He married Eveanna Jarchow on Jan. 11, 1980, at First
Baptist Church in Wichita. She survives in the home.
He was a member of Trinity Heights United Methodist Church
and the Lions Club. He faithfully served with Meals on Wheels for more than 15
years.
He had many hobbies. He enjoyed square dancing, bird
watching, travel, flower and tree identification and Elder Hostel classes. He
was excellent with woodworking. He helped with several projects for the church,
built several homes and many small projects for others.
He was especially proud of his yard. He landscaped it and
was recommended for the 2003 yard tour. As his health failed and he could no
longer work in the yard he would go outside and "measure" the growth
of his plants.
Mosier had an extended illness. He was loved by family and
will be missed greatly by them.
He is also survived by daughters, Jane Sibley of Chanute and
Kara Reynolds of Wichita; sons, Joseph Mosier of Udall and Kelly Mosier of

Phoenix; stepdaughters, Nancy Hostetler of West Liberty, Ohio, and Mitzie
Eddins of Lenexa; 17 grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.
He is also preceded in death by a sister, Virginia Baugh and
grandson Willie Edwards.
