. 1915 Feb 25 - Wife's father's OBITUARY, JAMES MOORE
James Moore, of Mount Pleasant Farm, Eramosa, near Crewsons Corners, died very suddenly on Tuesday morning after a stroke which occurred the previous afternoon. Mr. Moore had been in failing health for a couple of years, but was able to be about all Winter. He had been out to the barn & just as he was at the door of the house was stricken with paralysis from which he never rallied. He was conscious for a few minutes but fell into a state of coma from which he never recovered consciousness. A singular incident was the fact that Mrs. Moore was away from home for the first time since last October. Her son James was going down to the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. A. T. Mann, Acton, & invited his mother to accompany him. The father pressed her to go saying the change would do her good. His daughter & daughter-in-law were at the home all the time, & all the other members of the family reached the bedside before death came. James Moore was a son of the late Joseph Moore, of Erin, & was born in County Tyrone, Ireland in 1839. He came to Canada with his parents when a lad of four years & they settled on the farm which has been owned by the family the past seventy-two years. In 1862 he married Margaret Reid, daughter of the late John Reid, of Port Colborne.
They have 8 children & this is the first death in the family. They are: Mrs. George Wilds, Acton; Mrs. John Brown, Crewsons Corners; Joseph, of Rockwood; Mrs. Henry Denny & Mrs. A. T. Mann, Acton; Mrs. Fred Cooper, Erin;
Mrs. David McCutcheon, Everton, & James, who resides with his family on the homestead. Mr. Moore was one of a family of 4 sons & 2 daughters, of whom only one remains, Mr. Samuel Moore, of Mount forest. With the exception of four years spent in Acton Mr. & Mrs. Moore lived all their married life on the farm. Deceased was for many years a member of the Methodist Church, & was one of the first officials of the church at Crewsons Corners. He was a prominent Orangemen, a member of the L.O.L. No. 414, & was always ready for the Twelfth of July parade. For several years he was a School Trustee. He was a very affectionate husband & father & the old-time custom of having all the family home for Christmas was always observed to his great pleasure. The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock & interment will be made at Churchill Cemetery.
