  • Notes 
    • MOYER.-On the 27th of April 1898, near Campden, Clinton Twp., Lincoln Co., Ont., of inflammation of the lungs and other diseases, Joseph H. Moyer, aged about 74 years. He was the son of Samuel B. Moyer. He leaves a widow, two daughters and one son to mourn their loss. One son and three daughters preceded him. Many have been his afflictions in his days, a number of years ago he lost one arm by an accident in a threshing machine and endured other severe afflictions. Nearly three years ago he sustained a fracture of his leg in an accident with a sulky hay rake. He was confined to his bed over a year, but had recovered so far that he could walk a little with a crutch. In January 1898 he was stricken with inflammation of the lungs, of which it seemed he could not fully recover. Although his afflictions were many and severe, he bore them with patience and Christian fortitude and looked forward with a lively hope of the hereafter. He was buried at the Mountain M. H. on the 1st of May. A very large number of relatives and friends assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to a dear neighbor and friend. Services by J. F. Rittenhouse at the house and by Gilbert Bearss and Noah Stauffer at the meetinghouse. Peace to his ashes.
