Mrs, Maria Curtiss Moseley, the ma
tive of woodbury.. Conn, whose death
was mentioned Saturday. was the wife
Of William Graham Moseley, and she
passed away suddenly Wednesday
morning at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. George Hinman, 257 Warren street,
Roxbury, at the age of ninety-flve.
The Boston Traveller says: Prepare
tons We're being made to celebrate on
November - the seVenty-fourth ami
versary of the marriage of this respect
ed couple, both of whom have been
strong and active up to last night and
looking forth with eagerness and inter-
est to the celebration.
Five generations would have been
present to take part in the anniversary
celebration next week and representa-
tives of the extremes of a century al
most could have joined hands in the
persons of Mr.. Moseley, born in 1893,
and Agnes Homer, a great-great-grand-
child, born this year.
Mrs. Moseley had an experience with
in a few days which her friends look
upon as a peculiar and beautiful pre-
monition that she was soon to cross the
border-land of DEATH Sitting down
stairs one day. last week she heard a
song break out, faint and 4ndistinct at
first, which seemed to come from out
side the house. Gradually the sound
grew louder, clearer and more beautiful
and finally full chorus of sweet voices
broke on her ears. The joyful cries of
young children were interspersed with
the music and joy, and gladness SEEM
ed to ring through the air. The words
of the song, as Mrs. Moseley afterwards
repeated them to her daughter, Mrs.
Hinman, We're:
II am carried, I am carried
On the wings of love;
I am carried, I am carried
To the throne above"
Nothing to her mind could be clear
er premonition of her passing away and
her children were so impressed by the
occurrence that they had resolved to
acquaint the Rev. Minot J. Savage of
the fact, as he is interested in psychol-
ogy.
Mrs. Moseley, whose maiden name
was Curtiss, was born November 10,
1900, in Woodbury., Conn. She married
William Graham Moseley November 70,
1921. Mr.. Moseley was also born in
Woodbury., August 6, 1899 His family
H. i.
his father, John, living to be one hun
bred years and four months. When
but fifteen years old Mr.. Moseley went
to Sullivan Harbor Me, to clerk in Geo.
Humans store. He afterwards return
ed to his native place and then return
ed to Maine, where he went into bust
ness for himself and became a prosper
Gus merchant, retiring about thirty
years ago to make his home with Mrs.
George Human.
If it was not for his failing sight and
slight lameness Mr.. Moseley would
not look a day over seventy-fve He
has a luxuriant head of hair and his
eyesight is not so bad but that he reads
the papers daily. He is as interested
to-day in the affairs of the country as
he was when a young man, and with
unfagging zeal he keeps himself in
formed Of how things are going, and
loves nothing more than to discuss the
topics Of the times. Mr.. Moseley is a
faithful Universalist and a loyal Re
publican.
1T is a peculiar fact that about every.
one of the marriages in the family have
taken place in November, and thus it
happens that if Mr.. Moseley and his
wife had celebrated their seventy-fourth
wedding anniversary he would have
been Joined in the celebration by his
daughter Mrs. George Human, on her
fifty-sixth anniversary, his grand
daughter Mrs. H. J. Boardman, on her
thirty third and his great-grand-
daughter Mrs. Thomas Jay Homer, on
her fifth. Among those present would
have been Mrs. Homer's children, the
great-great- granddaughter and son,
Agnes Homer and Halseya Boardman
