Though he had been very Iow for several weeks, he did not suffer any pain and passed into eternal sleep easily and peacefully. The remains arrived in this city Saturday evening over the C. M. & St. P., and were at once taken to the home of the son of the deceased, where they remained until Monday afternoon when they were laid to rest. The funeral was largely attended and was carried out with formality and dignity befitting the memory of him who had long held such high rank among our citizens and business men. The services were held at the Congregational church and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Glen Taylor, who referred briefly and feelingly to the life and many commendable traits of the departed. There were a number of beautiful floral offerings expressive of the keen regret the taking off of the deceased had occasioned in the hearts of the sympathizing friends. The members of the I. O. O. F. and Canton and the Red Men were in attendance, making a most creditable showing, the deceased having been a faithful member of both organizations. The burial was in Evergreen cemetery. The pallbearers wore Dr. J .C. Davies, Jacob Scott, Le Roy Grout, T. H. Taylor, George Harrison, and W. M. Moore. Three represented the Can-ton and three the Order of Red Men. Robert Moses was born at West Osgood, Ontario, May 26, 1842. He was married at that place in December, 1865, to Miss Emma Clark. They came to Palo Alto county in 1870 and settled on a farm near Emmetsburg. Mrs. Moses died some time later. In May, 1879, Mr. Moses was united in marriage to Miss Teresa Clark. The latter died a few years ago. May 7, 1901, he was married to Mrs. Schultz. of Kansas City, who still survives him. There are two sons and three daughters. The sons are Alex, of this city, and William, who lives in Canada. The daughters are Mrs. Maggie Grant, of Canada, Mrs. Wm Frederick, of this place, and Mrs. Geo. Wyatt, of Webb, Iowa. A brother, William Moses, resides in this city. Mr. Moses was a frugal, practical, self-made man. He came to the county poor and, by his thrift and economy, he won a well deserved place among the most successful citizens of our community. He was always ready to give and take. He was a gentleman of firm convictions, but he was ever considerate of the rights and feelings of others. He was frank, kind, and charitable and was upright in all his relations with his fellowmen. He was a thorough, painstaking farmer and later in life he showed that he possessed the qualities of a competent businessman. He served a term on the Emmetsburg City Council and proved a prompt, attentive member. He resigned something over a year ago and moved to Excelsior Springs, Missouri. He has left to his family and friends the priceless example of a well-spent and useful career.
