Mose was a tattooed man on the following shows:
1916-1917 John Robinson Circus
1925 Miller Bros 101 Ranch Wild West
1931-1932 Rubin & Cherry Model Show
Ringling Bros, Barnum & Baily (unknown years)
He also played the calliope, and kept snakes and an orangutan.
Mose was my Great Grand Uncle (my great-grandfather's brother), and I am seeking any and all available information on him to create a biographical article and website about his career as a tattooed man.
Here is Mose's grave in Highland Lawn Cemetery in Terre Haute, IN
Here is Mose's obituary from the Terre Haute Tribune Star
