Pioneer's Death
Moses F. Carleton passed away on Friday night.
Resided in City of Port Huron for many years
Formerly County Clerk, Deputy Postmaster and Attorney
Moses F. Carleton died at his home on Stanton street on Friday night. Moses F. Carleton was born in North Haverhill, Grafton COunty, New Hampshire on January 27, 1831. He was about nine months old when his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm H. Carleton moved to Michigan, and his boyhood days were passed on a farm 2 1/2 miles southwest of the city of St. Clair. He attended the public schools and at the age of 16 became a teacher. For 19 winters successfully followed teaching in the district schools of St. Clair and Macomb counties. During the winter of 1854 he taught school in the state of Illinois. In the intervals of his schoolwork he devoted his attention to farming, having become the owner of a tract of land and the old homestead. In September 1864, he enlisted as a private in Company I, Fourth Regiment, Michigan Volunteer Infantry, at its organization, the regiment being assigned to the Army of the Cumberland. At the elapse of the war he retired from the service as second lieutenant. Mr. Carleton returned to his home in St. Clair and continued to devote his attention in cultivation and improvement of his farm, until the year 1872, when he was elected county clerk on the Republician ticket. He held the office for three consecutive terms, afterwards serving as deputy for his successsor for one term. Shortly after retiring from the county clerk's office he was admitted to the practice of law and confined his professional efforts largely to the pension business. For four years he was the deputy postmaster under Alexander R. Avery.
Mr. Carleton was one of the organizers of the St. Clair County Pioneer Association, in which he took an active interest, serving as president, secretary and treasurer. He was considered an authority on the early history of St. Clair county and had a remarkable memory for dates and other pertinent points.
On September 27, 1851, Mr. Carleton was united in marriage to Miss May Latham, of Greenwich, N.Y. She died on April 12, 1902, but a few months after the celebration of her golden wedding anniversary.
Fraternally Mr. Carleton was a member of Wm. Sanborn Post No. 98 G.A.R. of which he held the office of commander and also served as senior vice commander for Michigan. In the Knights of Pythias he was active for 25 years and served as chancellor commander of Charter Lodge No. 18. He took an active part in the Patrons of Husbandry, holding membership in Grove Lodge in St. Clair county.
Mr. Carleton devoted much of his time to genealogical research and traced his ancestry back to 1066.
Mr. Carleton leaves a son and two daughters. His wife died almost three years ago. The funeral will be held on Tuesday morning next from the family residence under the auspice of the G.A.R. and the burial will take place at St. Clair.
Moses resided at 610 Stanton in Port Huron, Michigan at the time of his death.
