George Moore
On Saturday last, April 27, 1918, the call came to Mr George Moore at the home of his son-in-law, Mr Chas. Petty, 2nd Con., Bentinck. He had long passed the allotted span of three score years and ten having been born 88 years ago in Lincolnshire, England. His removal severs almost the last link with the pioneer days of Normanby, he belonged to a past generation and his passing is not occasion for regret for since his wife died over six years ago, though wonderfully strong physically, his mentality failed him, and he has been a charge faithfully accepted, by his daughter and her family.
At the age of sixteen he left England for Canada, where his brother William had preceded him and for some years worked with the well-known Laidlaws of Guelph neighborhood. The two brothers were rarely separated and when George went to farming and married Miss Isabella Landels, William lived with them to his end, (also in extreme age) except a few trips to England.
The best part of deceased's life was spent on the well-known "Moore" farm on the 14th Concession. Here he and his wife met and surmounted the early trials of the pioneers, the while raising a family of six sons and two daughters, of whom one son, George, is deceased some years. The others are Thomas and John, of Wilson, New York, William of Flesherton, James of Swallwell, Alta, Joseph in Winnipeg. The daughters are Mrs Chas. Petty, at whose home he died, and Mrs Jas. Morice, of Lancer, Sask.
Deceased was a member of the Presbyterian Church and in days of strength and health as the writer remembers him a regular attendant at Divine worship. For ten years the writer and his family valued him and his family as kindly genial neighbors and warm friends. He was most happy in his domestic relations, proud of his children and loved in return. As a farmer he was progressive and not a few yet but must remember the pride he took, as well as his brother, in having a clean and orderly farm, free from thistles and weeds. He was interred in Tuesday in Maplewood cemetery. Services were conducted by Rev's Smith of Dromore and Whaley of Durham, the latter giving the discourse to the large number of friends and neighbors present from the text "Behold I stand at the door and knock." The pall bearers were three sons, Thos., William, John; son-in-law Chas Petty and Mr Geo Lothian, Egremont a cousin and Mr Jos. Graham of N. Grey, an uncle of the family.
