Alex. Mosher died at his home, northeast of Roberts, at six o'clock on the morning of the 18th of December. He had been a sufferer for years. Many times his life had been despaired of. On Friday night he was taken worse, when the physician was summoned, who found that he was seriously ill of Bright's disease. All that could be done was done to alleviate this suffering, but from the beginning it seemed probable that he would be unable to rally. The deceased was 69 years of age, having been born Oct. 8th, 1824, in Johnstown, N. Y. He was married to Elizabeth McLaughlin on the 11th of January, 1849. He is survived by his wife, two sons and five daughters who deeply mourn their loss. The funeral services at the home, Dec. 20th, were conducted by Rev. Fairley, assisted by Rev. Johnson. An impressive sermon was delivered. The text was 1st The??? 4th chapter and 11th verse. The remains were interred in the Roberts cemetery.
--Paxton Record. 28 December 1893.
