A man of many sterling qualities, a good friend and neighbor to all who knew him, as was borne out in the long cortege which followed to the cemetery. He will be greatly missed as he was very active in church and community work until a few years ago, one who was always ready and willing to do more than his share in any worth while undertaking.

Moore at Home; two brothers, Major of Rockville and Arthur of Hazelbeech, Northampton, England; and three sisters, Muriel of Rockville, Eliza, Manchester, England, and Laura, Hazelbeach, Northampton, England; and fourteen grandchildren.
The funeral was held on Sunday, Sept. 7, 1941, a short service at home, followed by service in Grace United Church, Rockville. Rev. E. Shaw and Rev. Wm. H. Vincer conducted the service. The pallbearers were John Cannard, Alfred Spry, James Moore, Albert Sheppard Sr., Wells Parkinson and Leslie Wood.
There were many floral tributes testifying to the high esteem in which the deceased was held. Pillow from the family; sprays from Mr. and Mrs. A.M. Newby and Mrs. Holt; the Rockville W.I. the Billings W.I. the Billings Ladies Aid; the Stevens family, Mr. and Mrs. Wells Parkinson, Mr. and Mrs. A. Dunlop, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Munro, and Mr. and Mrs. W. O'Brien; wreaths from the Foster family; a basket from Mr. and Mrs. J. Gould and family of Toronto, Ont.
With a smile and a clasp of hands,
He wandered into an unknown land;
Leaving us wondering how very fair
It needs must be, since he lingers there.

Lieutenant Lorne Weller Nicholson
Lieut. Lorne Weller Nicholson only son and child of Geo. B. Nicholson, M. P. East Algoma and Mrs. Nicholson, Chapleau, Ontario killed in action Nov. 4th, 1918
Lieut Nicholson went overseas with the 227 Battalion, Men-of-the-North, Lt.-Col C.H.L. Jones, of Sault Ste Marie, Commanding officer. He was transferred to the 4th C.M.R.�s and went to France in 1917. He was wounded with shrapnel in January of this year but recovered quickly, not laving his battalion. He was wounded again in April and was in the Canadian Hospital in France when it was bombed and more than three hundred lives of doctors, nurses, and wounded soldiers were lost. He was transferred to the Prince of Wales hospital in London, where, after three and one-half months, he fully recover, returning to his battalion on September 29th being in the lines continually from that time until the fatal day, just one week before the signing of the Armistice which means the World�s peace.
Lieut Nicholson was just past twenty-three years of age, a splendid specimen of young manhood. In one of his last letters to his mother, he used these words: �Mother, as we pass through these released towns and villages and look into the faces of the people who have withstood four years of barbarism, we realize that after all what we are doing is worth while�. This was written just 12 days before he gave his all (with the thousands of others of Canada�s best) that we might be permitted to hail the glorious dawn of the World�s peace.
