Death Of eeorne e. Mnselev

This town has lost one of its hest
citizens by the death of George p.
Moseley, who died last Friday night
after a painful illness of more than
six months duration. Mr.. Moselsv
was born in Springfield, Mass. Nav
2S, 1889. In his young manhood and
during the first years of the civil
war he was employed at the United
States armory at that place. In 1863
or ga he began work for the Ameri-
can Express company and went TO
Bellows Falls soon after and ran for
more. than 20 years between that
place and Springfield as express train
agent. In the spring of 1887. finding
continual riding on the cars was un-
dermining his strong constitution. he
left the road bought farm in
Bernardston and moved there. but
sold out in a few months. and bought
Chestnut Grove Farm near Vernon
station. and moved here in MAY. 1888.
In 1866 he married Miss Emma Tut
tie of Rockingham, who died in 1871
One son was born to them, Lewis T..

several weeks assisting in caring for
his father and in the work of the
farm. In 1874 he married Miss Julia
E. knight of Putney, who survives
him. They have one daughter, Miss
Jennie E., who, for several years, was
a successful teacher in the schools of
this town and East Longmeadow.

on account of the illness of her
mother, and who, during the sickness
of her father, has been a constant as
sistant in tenderly caring for him.
Two brothers also survive him, Lewis
of Springfield and Frank of Provi-
dence.
Mr. Moseley was a man of great
strength of character, sterling integri-
ty and marked abilities-a most
thoughtful and affectionate husband
and father man who believed in and
lived the Christian religion. In social
life he was always cordial and cheer
full. He was a member of Vernon
