SETH H. MOSELEY, New Haven, Conn. — Commenced service at the Massasoit House, Springfield, Mass., in 1843, remaining until 1859. An eminent writer, now deceased, wrote that he was the "inspiring genius" of that famous hostelry. He was away at intervals, during that time, teaching in Somers, Conn., and spending a part of one year at the South on account of ill health. He purchased in 1859 one-half interest in the Brevoort House New York, having a successful business until his health failed, when he sold out in 1863, and went abroad, visiting Great Britain, the Continent, and the East, spending the winter in Egypt, and the spring in the Holy Land, and returning home in 1864. In 1867 he purchased the New Haven House, which with his son he still carries on. They are also associated together in the management of the railroad restaurant in the Union station, New Haven. Mr. Moseley has struggled nearly all his life with ill health, but his indomitable will and perseverance have enabled him to reap the ample rewards which he has so deservedly won.
