From Kintyre 75th Jubilee 1979:
Anton is the son of Jacob and Katherine Horner Moch. He was born July 26 at Dakem Township, Emmons County, ND.
In the fall of 1919, Jacob moved with his family to Campbell Township. That year he and his brother, Peter, purchased the Campbell Ranch from Sievers. Peter and his family moved into the main house. Jacob and his family moved into a smaller house. In 1922, they split up the farm, using the railroad as a dividing line. It took them almost a year to build a road across the creek to enable them to move half of the buildings. One of the buildings moved was a 100-ft. corral barn. These buildings were moved with wagons and horses. In the fall of 1933, Anton went to Sidney, MT to work for Nels Bach. He worked sugar beets in the fall and in the winter he helped with the sheep. Birdie Dickson had gone to Sidney earlier in the year. November 14, 1933, she and Tony were married at Sidney. As soon as the wedding ceremony was over, Tony returned to the farm and spent the rest of the day shearing sheep. In the evening, Mrs. Bach cooked them a delicious wedding dinner. In 1934, they moved back to Kintyre, where they rented a house. Their first son, Donald Anton, was born there. That summer there were no crops, so Tony again drove his Model A Ford to Sidney to work sugar beets. He was accompanied by his brother, Wendolyn, Peter Kuhn and Gideon Bauer. In 1936, Jacob, Katherine and their younger children John, Tillie and Theresa moved to Napoleon. Tony and his brother Joe, stayed on the ranch and became partners. In 1939 Tony and his family moved to the August Carlson place, which is about nine miles northwest of Kintyre. (Now owned by Frank Moch). They took care of about 1,000 sheep. In 1941 they moved back to Campbell or Cold Spring Ranch as they now call it. The partnership between Joe and Tony was eventually dissolved. In 1974 Tony sold the ranch to his son, Don. Birdie Alice Dickson was bom to Alfred and Olivia (Roisum) Dickson in a sod house on Alfred's homestead. It was located in Wood township on the present Arnold Johnson farm. Birdie attended the Tell grade school. Anton and Birdie are the parents of six children: Donald, 1934, Donna (Frohlich) 1937, Cleo (Bleth) 1942, Maxine (Feyereisen) 1946, Randy, 1949, and Pamela (Bitz) 1953. They also have fourteen grandchildren. Tony, who is now retired, and Birdie continue to reside on the former Dugald Campbell Ranch in what was the original house.
