Maryville Republican (Maryville, Missouri), Tuesday, July 25, 1871
DIED, in Maryville, at his late residence, on Sunday evening, July 23d, after an illness of only seven days, Moses Vervalin, aged 61 years.
Mr. Vervalin has been a respected citizen of our town for nearly three years past. He resided upon a farm 2 ½ miles north of town the first year of his residence among us. But in the fall of 1869 he built a brick house upon his lots in Roseberry’s addition and has resided there ever since. Last summer he had charge of the mason work of Union Block; owning the west storeroom, now occupied by J. C. Waterman & Co., for an office.
Mr. Vervalin was a native of New York State and learned his trade in New York City. For several years he carried on an extensive salt manufacturing business at Salina, near Syracuse, N. Y. But moving to Wisconsin in 1847, he engaged in farming for a short time near the capitol, Madison. Soon resuming his old trade of mason, he built some of the best houses in Madison; and likewise in Evansville, Wis., whither he removed in 1856. It was there that he became acquainted with several persons and families now residing among us; all of whom bear testimony to his worth and to the estimation he was held in by his fellow citizens.
In politics he was a Republican “of the most straightest sect,” always ready to give his influence and counsel when desired. In religion he was a Methodist, having belonged to that church since his youth; and he always was found ready in the church to assist the weak and encourage the strong. Many of our readers must have noticed him always present in his seat on the Sabbath unless detained by sickness. During the past few years, he had been afflicted with rheumatism, which prevented his taking as active part as formerly.
By his death, his family lose a loving husband and father, the church a faithful member and the community at large an energetic, progressive citizen. May our loss be his gain. H. E. R.
