(18 Apr 1811 - 21 Nov 1898)
Obituary: Hosier - Wm. Hozier was born, April 28, 1811, in Chautaqua county, N. Y. And emigrated to Adams county, Ills., in 1832. He married Miss Nancy Hanks, March 16, 1842, near Quincy, Ills. His companion died on Jan. 15, 1890. He moved with his family from Adams county, Ills., to Livingston county, Mo., in 1867. His death occurred, Nov. 21, 1898. Mr. Hozier was converted and joined the Church in early years, and not only lived a consistent Christian life, but was a constant laborer in the vineyard of the Lord, and a pillar in the Church. About two years ago he said to the writer, "I want you to preach my funeral sermon; you preached mother's funeral sermon (his wife's), and I want you to preach mine. And just say to the people I died as I lived." He was a part of the history of this county. The Church owes much of its prosperity to his labors and godly life. His funeral sermon was preached by the writer, Nov. 23, 1898, at our church at Plymouth, Mo., where his membership was. He leaves two sons, four daughters, twenty grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. D. C. Feese.

There were seven children born of this union, three boys and four girls. The eldest boy died when about two years old and his companion departed this life Jan. 15. 1890. He moved with his family from Adams county, Ills., to Livingston county, Mo., in 1867, and lived on a farm that he improved and made a comfortable home, till his death which occurred Nov. 21, 1898. Brother Hosier's life was such that he exemplified the fact that an honest man is the noblest work of God. He was converted and joined the M. E. Church in early life and not only lived a consistent Christian, but was a constant laborer in the vineyard of the Lord, and a pillar in the Church, able in prayer, eloquent in exhortation, convincing many that Jesus was the very Christ, the Savior of the world. About two years ago he said to the writer, "I want you to preach my funeral; you preached mother's funeral (his wife's), and I want you to preach mine. And just say to the people I died as I lived." He was a part of the history of this country. The church owes much of its prosperity to his labors and Godly life. His funeral sermon was preached by the writer Nov. 23, 1898, at the M. E. Church at Plymouth, Mo., where his membership was, to a large and sorrowing assembly, and his remains were nicely laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery near that place. He leaves two sons, four daughters, twenty grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and many friends to mourn his loss. Truly a great man has fallen in Isreal. He is not dead - the father of our affection - But gone unto that school Where he no longer needs our poor protection, and Christ himself doth rule.
