She has been to him an ideal wife,
tenderly caring for him all these
years of infirmities consequent to the
hardships OF army life and advanced
age, never for moment feeling IL a
burden but rather great privilege to
minister to his wants. To this union
were born four children, Leon who
passed away when about four years
old, Wallace, Susie and Perley, who
are bereft of fond fathers care. Be
sides the immediate family he leaves
to mourn their loss three sisters, Mrs.
Lucinda Mullen, aged and feeble, and
Mrs. +. j. Clark OF North Arson and
Mrs. John r. Bicknell Of Madison and
other relatives.
Mr. Moulton was man of kind
heart and broad sympathies, ever
ready to respond to call OF sickness
or distress; no one ever asked in
vain any favor of him that he could
reasonably grant. Funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Berry OF
Bingham. A large gathering of
neighbors and friends, some coming
long distances to pay their respects
to this aged gentleman. The floral
offerings were silent tokens of the
love and esteem In which he was held.
All felt that truly a good man had
been taken from their midst. He was
laid to rest beside his first wife in
the Pleasantdale cemetery in Embden.
