Military Cross for Woodstock Hero
Lt. Gov. Pugsley Makes Presentation.

Deputy Sheriff H. V. Mooers and Mrs. Mooers were on Wednesday presented with the Military Cross, awarded to their son, Lieut. R. C. Mooers, for conspicuous bravery on August 16, 1918, when he received wounds from which he died August 29, 1918. The presentation was made by his Honor Lieutenant Governor Pugsley, at his office in Fredericton.
The following citation shows the work of the young hero:

During the operations of 16th August, 1918, at Damery, this officer showed conspicuous bravery in action and devotion to duty in the most trying circumstances. After being wounded he reported to a A.D.S. and returned to his company in the attack, quite unable to carry any equipment than a box respirator.
On the way he gathered stragglers together and brought them into effective action.
He was again severely wounded, preferring to be left behind rather than cause a further reduction in the strength of the company.
Eventually after being dragged down the trench for some distance on a waterproof sheet he struggled to his feet, and though suffering great agony walked nearly a kilometer before being picked up by an ambulance which had been specially detailed for him.

At the out break of the great European war in 1914 this officer was one of the first boys of Woodstock to don the khaki. He enlisted, at the age of seventeen years, in the 1st Field Company of the Canadian Engineers and was made corporal.
In August he went to Valcartier and in the month of October he left Canada with this unit for overseas.
In March of 1915 he went to France with the same unit, where he spent over three years.
During that period he returned to England for a short time to take a course to qualify for a lieuenancy.
He got this commission and returned to his unit in France. Just two months before his death he was transferred to the 43rd Battalion.

Carleton Sentinel Newspaper April 11 1919

Heavy Loss
Mr. R. B. Welch left his home on Thursday morning with a package of money in his pocket, containing between $900 and $1000. Reaching his office at the N.B.&C. Railroad Station, he felt for his money, when to his great astonishment he found that it was gone.
Mr. Welch is unable to account for how or when it got out of his pocket; diligent search was at once made over the ground he had come, but with no avail.
Mr. Welch offers a reward of $50 for its discovery. We sincerely hope Mr. Welch may find the money, and thus be saved the heavy loss entailed.

Carleton Sentinel Newspaper May 10 1879
Mr. Welch has not yet heard anything from his lost money.

An old man named John McGarrigle, was found dead in his bed,
at the boarding house of P. Haney, on Monday morning. The deceased had been drinking heavily.

Carleton Sentinel Newspaper June 7 1879
We were in error in reference to the finding of the body of the little boy, Perley, drowned at Upper Woodstock last week.
His father, Solomon Perley, Upper Woodstock, will gladly receive any information regarding the body of his son.
The deceased had light hair; was dressed in heavy checked cotton coat, grey homespun pants, and barefooted.

Mr. J. N. Simonson, an aged and respected citizen of Jacksonville,
died quite suddenly on Sunday morning last.

The well known "Stephenson Hotel" opens today,
under the title of "Riverside Hotel," with Mr. Geo. Goslin as proprietor.

We have not heard the particulars, further than to know that the fine and costly residence
of Mr. David Burtt, Centreville, was totally destroyed by fire on Sunday morning.
Loss probably $3,000; insured for $1,500, in the North British.

Among those who have emigrated to the U. S. during the week,
we have to report the name of Mr. R. M. Bailey; one of the kind of men we can ill afford to lose.

Carleton Sentinel Newspaper May 10 1879
We have to record the departure of more of our people for the West on Monday last.

Miss V. Baker
Messrs. C. T. Turney, James Reed, of Woodstock,

T. E. MILLMORE A GEORGIA EDITOR

Woodstock friends will be pleased to read the following complimentary reference in the Chatsworth Times, a paper published in Chatsworth, Murray County Georgia.
Mr. Millmore is a native of Woodstock and the citizens generally will be glad to learn of his success in newspaper work.
The Plublishers say:-
" It is not often that a man will congratulate himself, but when he thinks he should be congratulated we do not believe it any harm to do so, and here is where the Publishers of the Chatsworth Times congratulate themselves on securing the services of T. E. Millmore as editor of this journal. We are not alone in this either, for we are receiving good words from every section of the county.
Mr. Millmore is the best newspaper man that has been in the county for some time. He was with the Murray News until recently, and while there published the best paper Murray county has ever had.
We are saying this with no disrespect to Mr. Gates, who has been with us since we started to publish this journal and who will, on the first of August, take charge of the Murray News and give its readers a good paper. He is an experienced newspaper man, and is by no means a stranger in Murray county."
