Petition filed by Claude Moses: dated 22 Apr 1889 ( resident of W. Almond) pertaining to his brother Arthur 13 yrs and Bertha sister 10 years. It appears he was attempting to obtain guardianship with relationship to their share of their fathers pension and land.

Mrs. Moses was an excellent woman, always cheerful and kind hearted, and ready to help those who were sick or in trouble. She had been a member of the Rushford F.M. Church for several years and her life wa filled with good deeds. The past four years she had kept house for her son, Edwin Moses, and they moved from the Lower Haskell to Rawson about a year ago.
