Annetta Delaney Mosley
dies at 74
Annetta Delaney Mosley, 74, who helped her daughter from Oak Park start a unique theater company in the village, died Nov. 21, 1999 at her home in Maywood.
Mrs. Mosley's daughter, Ethel Harris, created and operated the Delaney Theater Company, which had long offered productions in Oak Park that spotlighted diversity and creativity until it was closed in 1994. Harris then concentrated on a film and commercial career in California.
Born in Mississippi, Mrs. Mosley came to Chicago in 1955. She married Ramoth Mosley, and they raised Harris as their daughter. In addition to her interest in the arts and other fields, Mrs. Mosley worked for many years in the housekeeping department of Riveredge Hospital in Forest Park.
When Harris began the Delaney Theater company, Mrs. Mosley was an important part of its creation, both artistically and financially. Mrs. Mosley also served on Delaney Theater's board of directors.
Mrs. Mosley is survived by her husband and daughter, by six grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and a great-great-grandchild.
Visitation was held Friday at Wallace Broadview Funeral Home in Broadview and was followed by a funeral service.

Dorothy S. McGowan
Dies Sept 14, 1999 at 80
Dorothy McGowan (nee Jones) died at the age of 80.
Mrs. McGowan had been ill for quite a time and had not been expected to even come home from her last stay in the hospital. She was a very nice woman and will be missed by many. She worked very hard to raise her family and after her husband died she moved in with her older sister Mildred Jones, a school teacher and avid reader. Mildred Jones had many books and this is perhaps where many of her relatives first learned to love reading. Mildred died many years before Dorothy and was a kind woman too. Mrs. McGowan worked for Continental Bank, in downtown Chicago for some 21 years. Dorothy McGowan, with Mildred Jones, had lived on Pleasant Place in Oak Park. Their house was located where the current Mills Tower Home for the Elderly is located. Dorothy was born in Chicago to J. Theodore and Elizabeth Jones. She is survived by her two sons, David F. McGowan and John W. McGowan.
Two of her children, Robert McGowan and Nancy McGowan had died before her. Her husband James F. McGowan died in 1956. Dorothy will be interned at Forest Home cemetery.

Arthur S. Replogle
dies July 12, 1999
I knew Arthur S. Replogle for almost 40 years. He died of a heart attack on July 12, 1999 in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. He was playing tennis at the time, and I hope he was winning. Mr. Replogle was a very nice, hard working man, who always had time to help others. I first met Mr. Replogle on a field trip from Emerson School in the mid '60s. Several classes took a large bus a few miles to the north east and we had a tour of the Replogle Globe company. I remember thelarge three footed kind that would someday find a home in my study. The Replogle globes looked like shiny new Cadillacs to me. All of the students walked through the factory with the plant manager, and then Mr. Replogle came out to welcome all of the students and explain something about how globes were made. Mr. Replogle left the company in 1974 and took the position of Head of the Oak Park Development Company. He held that position until 1997, when he retired.
Mr. Replogle belonged to almost every worthwhile organization in town. He was on boards of the Oak Park Y.M.C.A., Local Boy Scouts, Oak Park Arts Council, Rotary Club, and about three times that again. When I was in the local Oak Park Jaycees years ago Mr. Replogle would come by during dinners and celebrations to give a talk and cheer on the civic work that we were doing. He was always bringing in pictures of his grand children for printing at Kings Camera Shop. He will be missed, not only by his immediate and extended family, but by thousands of Oak Parkers who had the pleasure to know him.
