History
Malcolm Mosher was born on 4 December 1883 at Avondale, Hants County, Nova Scotia, the son of Daniel and Merinda (Martin) Mosher. He graduated from the Maritime Business School in Halifax in 1902, and began working as a clerk the same year. On 2 November 1908 he married Florence B. Larder of Halifax. The couple adopted one daughter, Marial. In 1914 Mosher went into business on his own as an importer and grocery broker, establishing Mosher Brokerage Company in Halifax. The business prospered and Mosher became a well known and respected member of the Maritime business community. Mosher was very active in Halifax community life, particularly in the affairs of the Brunswick Street United Church, where he was a treasurer, a chorister, and a board member. He was also a member of the Halifax Curling Club, Gorsebrook Golf Club, the North British Society, St. John's Lodge, the Scottish Rite, and the Rotary Club. Malcolm Mosher died suddenly of a heart attack on 16 May 1951 in Windsor, Nova Scotia.
