Arthur T. Mosher Jr.

Ted Mosher was born in Landour, India, the son of Presbyterian missionaries Art and Alice Wynne Mosher. His schooling was at Woodstock School in Landour, India, except for his high school senior year at Ithaca High School in Ithaca, New York.

Following high school he graduated from Cornell University from which he also received an MA in English Literature. On October 8, 1964, he married Ann Longmore, whom he had known in India. With Ann he had one child, Katie. In 1972 he and Ann made a long trip through India where he reconnected with life long Indian friends.

At Cornell he was in the ROTC which led to two years of army service as an intelligence officer which let into a career in intelligence work with the Defense Intelligence Agency, about which family knew very little except that his specialty was image analysis which involved briefing trips with military commands all over the world. He retired from the Defense Intelligence Agency in 1996.

After retirement Ted enjoyed working on genealogy projects which resulted in a several books. He completed and published The Life and Times of Arthur Mosher, his father, and wrote a marvelous detective story, Whodunit, both available on line. He also made a number of trips with his daughter Katie to Europe and India.

Ted will be remembered for his sharp dry wit, his Hawaiian shirts, his undetected shenanigans as a boy, his secretive detective ways, his meticulous organization of family affairs. He was loved and will be missed.

Ted is survived by his daughter Katie Mosher Mackey, his son-in-law Jason Mackey, their children Anna and Ethan and his brothers Bill and Richard and his sister Anne.
