Mrs. Moffat, who had passed the age 79 years, was up and about as usual until Saturday, but on Sunday was not feeling well and did not arise. It is thought a stroke of paralysis hastened her end. She raised a family of twelve children. Her husband died less than two years ago at an advanced age. The remains will be interred in the Mono East cemetery this afternoon. More particulars will appear in our next issue. MOFFATT, ELIZABETH - Orangeville Sun, March 17 1910, page 5 - Glencross A Pioneer - Mrs. Wm. Moffatt, whose death we announced last week, unexpectedly passed peacefully away on Monday afternoon. She had complained of a light pain in her side Saturday afternoon but felt better on Sunday. She did not arise Monday morning and her family, thinking she was going to take a good sleep, did not arouse her. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Hand and she was born in Sligo Co., Ireland, 1830, coming to Canada when 3 weeks old, her parents settling at Hamilton Beach. The brothers and sisters still living are Mrs. Hunter, Grand Forks, N.D., Mrs. Herse, Olean, N.Y., Roland Hand, Coroapolis, Pa. The family of six boys and six girls still living are Mrs. J. V. Murdoch of Pittsburg, Pa., Robert of Michigan, Mrs. Hatch of Corry, Pa., Mrs. T. E. Hanna of Rosemont, Thomas J. of Kent county, ON, Mrs. Brerder of Olean, N.Y., George, Agnes, Harriet and Roland at home. She was buried at St. John's Cemetery, 7th Line, Mono, on Thursday. Rev. W. McLean preached the sermon at the house and spoke expressly of being prepared for heaven. The family feels the sudden severing of a sweet, dear, gentle mother's strong love very much. She was so kind, thoughtful and self-sacrificing. She fought the battle of life bravely and endured many trials of pioneer days and fought the good fight of faith in the early days when it was not as it is now. The family thanks those that so kindly gave their sympathy and comfort. A wreath with the words "Our Mother" from Mr. and Mrs. Gray was much appreciated. The pallbearers were George and J. Buchanan, Geo. Moffatt, T. H. Moffatt, Samuel Roney and Jno. Lennox.
