OBITUARY
Moses LeFevre died at his home at New Hurley, very suddenly of heart disease, on Wednesday Morning at about 11 o'clock. He was preparing with his wife to visit a neighbor and had just emptied a scuttle of coal into the stove, when he called to his wife and as she came into the room she saw that he was ill. He was able to reach the bed and tell his wife that he had a pain in his breast, but felt better. These were all the words he spoke and in a few minutes life had fled. Although death was so sudden it did not come altogether without warning, for to his friends he had spoken several days before of a shortness of breath and on Monday had consulted a physician.
The funeral will be held in the New Hurley church at 10 1/2 a.m., on Saturday, Feb. 1st. Interment in the New Paltz cemetery.
The news of this sudden bereavement comes to his family and friends as a great shock. Of the six sons of the family who grew to man's estate, Moses was the strongest. As a young man there were few so robust and vigorous in mind and body-always healthful, buoyant in spirit, ready for action, whether the call might be for work on the farm, or study in school, or the pleasant call of youthful society. Life to him was never monotonous, never a burden.
Nearly fifteen years ago he left the old farm and the old home and with the wife of his choice located on a a farm at New Hurley. Hard work and good management had brought their reward and few houses had been more blessed.
No one could take more pleasure than he did in the society of wife and children, and to his sons he leaves the example of an upright, honorable, Christian life.
In the prosperity of the New Hurley church of which he was an elder at the time of his death he took a very warm interest. The members of the consistory will act as bearers at the funeral.
