About Charles L. Moses

Charles Leavell Moses (May 2, 1856 – October 10, 1913) was a U.S. representative from Georgia.

Born near Turin, Georgia, Moses attended small country schools and ultimately graduated from Mercer University, Macon, Georgia, in 1876. He later engaged in teaching and agricultural pursuits. For several years he served as principal of the Newnan Academy for Boys. After 1886, he devoted his time exclusively to agricultural interests, and was also involved in the Farmers' Alliance.
