Sterling belonging either to the J. B. Moss estate
or to daughter Catherine Moss Barrow. Many
pieces are monogramed "CMB" and were
wedding gifts on the occassion of Catherine's
marriage to John. D. Barrow. Given previously to
the St. Joseph Historical Society and therefore
not included in this compendium, was a small
booklet with a list of each guest at the Catherine
Moss wedding, the gift they gave and their
address. This small booklet is invailuable in
identifying where prominant members of 19th c
and early 20th c. St. Joseph society were living
at the time, 1919. It was given to the Historical
Society during the tenure of Mr. Clyde Weeks in
2014. He was fascinated by it. The small bell was
certainly Mrs. Mary Moss's bell for ringing up a
the maid. But much of the sterling belonging to
the Moss's was sold at the time of J. B. Moss's
bankruptcy in the late 1920's. The date of sterling
lacking a monogram could be determined by an
expert.Context
