Deacon Moses B. Pearson died very sud-
denly last Saturday, at the advanced age
of 81 years. He had been ill with the grip
for few days. Mr.. Pearson was one of
our oldest citizens. He was a man of
strong will, had strong convictions of
right, and deep piety, holding the conf
dence of the people. He was deacon in the
Cong. church for years and had the church
at heart, and was one of it's most liberal
supporters. He was twice married, his
first wife being Eliza P. Cowles; his sec
ond wife was the widow of the late Rev.
A. R. Gray. BY his first marriage he had
four children only one surviving him, Dea.
Samuel Pearson of this town. The funeral
will be held tomorrow at 2 pm.
Seldom has death been the occasion of so
extended and profound sorrow as in the
case of Mrs. Eunice Keyes, wife of Isaac
Reyes and daughter of the late Ira Boynton.
She had been sick only three days and very
few knew of her illness. Mrs. Keys joined
the Cong. church and gave her heart to her
Saviour in her youth and her conversion
had great influence over her subsequent
life. Her faith was never shaken, and she
always had unbound faith in her Saviour.
She was patient in suffering and always
considerate of others; devoted wife and
mother, she will be greatly missed by her
husband and four children which she leaves
behind; she also leaves an aged mother.
The funeral was held at the house yester-
day, Rev. Il. l.. Sheaff of Barton officiating.
The family have the deepest sympathy of
all.
