Portrait and Biographical Album of
Huron County, Michigan
Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [414]

           MOSES ERB, farmer, section 26, Chandler Township, was born Nov.
        16, 1848, in Lambton Co., Ont. His father and mother, ABRAM and
        WILHELMINA (CLEMS) ERB, were natives of Ontario, of German descent.
        The mother died at Ovid, Mich., in January, 1881, while visiting a
        daughter there, and was 68 years old.
           MR. ERB was reared in Ontario to the age of his legal manhood,
        when he came to Michigan and entered the employ of BERKEY & GAY,
        furniture manufacturers of Grand Rapids, in whose employment he
        remained eight years. After leaving their service he passed two
        years in another manufacturing establishment at the same place. His
        health failed, and he came to Huron County and became a land-holder
        in Chandler Township, where he has since managed his agricultural
        operations. The location is one of the best in the township, and of
        the 80 acres comprised in his farm he has improved 35 acres.
           MR. ERB is a radical Republican, and has served as Supervisor of
        his township and in the several school offices.
           He was married Jan. 3, 1870, at Lowell, Kent Co., Mich., to
        ADELIA BARBER. They have two children, - CLAUD and BERTIE. MRS. ERB
        was born in Linden, Washtenaw Co., Mich., Dec. 14, 1854, and is the
        daughter of ALFRED and EVALINE (SNYDER) BARBER. They were natives
        of New York, of New England origin, and English descent.  The
        mother died at Lowell, in September, 1881.  The father of MRS. ERB
        is a resident there.
