DIED. At his residence, near Postville, Nov. 19th, 1883, John MOIR, Sr. in his 72nd year. Deceased was a native of the seaport town of Frazersburg, Scotland. An early pioneer in this section, he associated himself with the cause of religious truth and equity. Honest and industrius, he acquired a competency and by his diligence he left the world the better for having lived in it. Generous, though at times passionate, yet over his frailties let us forgetfully draw the mantle of charity and while we reflect that no one is perfect, let us remember with gratitude the good he has done and cherish only the memory of his good qualities and his better nature.
