Clarence A. ''Pete'' Mosley was born June 10, 1929 in Guthrie, Oklahoma. He was the son of Floyd Henry and Mamie Jestin (Denton) Mosley. Pete moved with his family at an early age to Tulsa where he was raised and attended school at Lowell School on Peoria.

Pete began a career in carpentry at an early age as he helped his father to remodel and build homes in the Tulsa area. Pete enlisted into the service of his country during World War II in the United States Army. Upon completion of his military duty he returned to Tulsa and resumed his career in carpentry working with his father.

On October 15, 1956, Pete was married to Eula Pearl Reed in Stillwell, Oklahoma. The couple initially established their home in Tulsa but moved to Wichita, Kansas after a short time when Pete accepted employment constructing silo bins. Shortly after moving the Kansas, the couple moved to California where Pete began working for the National Forestry Service. Pete and Eula made their home in Anderson, just outside Redding, California.

The couple later returned their family to Tulsa and then on to the Terlton, Oklahoma area in 1972, They had three daughters, Debbie, Brenda and Kathy.
