Fred V. MOSSEY and Deldee E. MOSSEY were brother and sister, youngest children of Orville and Emily MOSSEY of Wisconsin. Both are listed in the 1914 Davenport City Directory as students at Palmer School of Chiropractic, rooming at 1026 Brady. By 1920 the two are living with their parents in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. Deldee is listed as a saleslady in a variety store in both 1920 and 1930. Never married it appears. She died in Bangor, Wisconsin August 24, 1975. Fred married Anita (?) by 1925 and appears to have gone into dentistry, then the dental supply field as president of Mossey-Otto Company in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
