Mrs. Mosely, I am sure, is Nannie's sister, Mary. In Book 10, Aug. 1955, JWG writes that Mary Mosely died and was buried at Jno D Hunts. A gravestone at Hunt Cemetery for Mary Mosely puts date of death Aug. 1955.
Dec. 30, it looks like the same word "D?" appears here as previous page concerning something at CH.
