Moses John DeFoe, eldest son of John DeFoe and Mary Franklin DeFoe, was born December 17, 1868 at Newport, Minnesota. He passed away on April 26 at the age of 78 years, four months and nine days, following a three month illness of a heart ailment.

Two children were born to this union, Horace and Hazel. Mrs. DeFoe passed away in 1925 and in 1927 Mr. DeFoe moved to Atwater where he resided the past 20 years.

Two brothers died in infancy and another brother, Peter, passed away eleven years ago. A sister, Mrs. Ed French, also preceded him in death.
