http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/m/Moss,William_Dygnum.html

William Dygnum Moss (1866-1932) was born in Ontario, Canada. His career as a clergyman in the Presbyterian Church included posts in his native country and at two churches in the United States. He served as pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Chapel Hill, N.C., for more than 20 years, during which time he also ministered to students at the University of North Carolina. The collection contains correspondence, sermons, prayers, articles, clippings, and photographs documenting the life and work of William Dygnum Moss, mostly as pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Chapel Hill, N.C. Among the photographs are some of Chapel Hill; the University of North Carolina campus; and school children, some of them barefooted, at school in the 1920s. There are also materials of Chapel Hill resident Madge Kennette, a member of the family with whom Moss resided at the time of his death in 1932. These include letters; clippings; and diaries, 1911-1969, that closely document her daily life.
