**OBIT - James MOFFATT
Many old friends n this county will regret to her of the death in Cranbrook, B.C. of James MOFFATT a former well-known citizen of Amherst. The telegram announcing his death was the first intimation relatives had that he was not in his usual good state of health. Death was due to a stroke of paralysis a few days ago, following one of two or three years ago... His last illness was at the home of his daughter, Ms. HODGSON, Cranbrook.
He was a son of the late Atcheson MOFFATT, one of the pioneer merchants of Amherst and he and his brother Arthur succeeded to their father’s business after his retirement some forty years ago. The firm was known as A.W. and J. MOFFATT. After a number of years the firm was dissolved, the deceased establishing a business for himself, while the old stand was continued by his brother. This continued for a few years when the deceased retired and about eight years ago he left for the West, where several of his family were located. The first few years were spent with his sons in Perdue, Sask. He was a quiet, genial, human type of a man and while he did not aspire to civic or public honors, he was very generally esteemed in the community. His death means the severing of a very interesting link with the past.
The family left to mourn their loss are widow, formerly Miss HOWARD of Amherst, three sons, Howard, Osborne and Lloyd in Perdue and two daughters, Edna, Mrs. HODGSON, already mentioned and Lydia, Mrs. HUNTER in Kansas. There are also two brothers, Charles and Arthur and a sister, Mary all located Amherst, N.S. The deceased was 72 years of age and according to the telegram received from one of the sons the funeral was held at Mission, B.C.
