MRS. MOSES R. BECKETT
Mrs. Moses R. Beckett passed away at her home near Gagetown Monday evening, Jan. 26 [1920], after an illness of only two weeks.

The family moved from Kemptville to Gagetown in 1910 and bought the Alvin Summers far, where they have lived since. Mrs. Beckett leaves besides her family, two sisters of this community, Mrs. T.H. Wallace, and Mrs. Ross Bearss, and one sister and three brothers in Canada. She was a faithful member of Grace Episcopal Church, Gagetown.
The funeral services were held at the home Friday afternoon and burial was at Hillside Cemetery [Elmwood Cemetery]. The family mourn the loss of a faithful and loving wife and mother, and the community a good neighbor and friend.

Obituary 2:
The death of Mrs. Moses Beckett cast a shadow of sorrow over our community Tuesday. Mrs. Beckett has been in very poor health about a year and under a doctor's care. Mr. and Mrs. Beckett have lived among us for about 14 years. Mrs. Beckett has many, many friends, her neighbors have been extremely kind during her late illness.
She leaves behind a kind husband, one daughter, Miss Frances, who teaches in Macomb County, two sons, Clare at home, and Charles, who attends high school. Mrs. T.W. Wallace of Cass City and Mrs. Ross Bearss are sisters.
Very impressive service was rendered by Rev. Wilson at the home Friday. The high school pupils sent beautiful flowers. Mrs. Beckett was a true Episcopalian and led a quiet, earnest life.
Relatives from outside attending the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. C. Hartsell of Grant, Mr. and Mrs. C.E. Walls of Kingston, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Wallace of Cass City and Mrs. Stafford of Cass City. Burial took place in Hillside Cemetery [Elmwood Cemetery]. The family have the sympathy of the community.
