Moffatt, Alden R. (27 JUL 1836 - 11 FEB 1888)
Died, near
Hewettville, Clark County, Wis., Feb. 11, 1888, Mr. Alden R.
Moffatt, aged 51 years, 7 months, and 15 days.
He was born in Canada, and moved to Hartford, Wis., at the age of
12. In 1862 he was married to Miss Ellen Anderson, of Hartford. At
an early day he came to Clark County. For many years he lived in
Neillsville, engaging in business with great zeal and success. Some
two years ago he moved to the country for the second time, settling
on a new farm which he, with the assistance of his two sons,
greatly improved. A comfortable house is recently completed. He had
four children, Emma, Willie, Eugene and Sarah. He was regarded by
all as an honest, honorable and industrious citizen and
neighbor.
His sickness was brief and his death very sudden. The funeral was
attended from the Presbyterian Church of Neillsville, on Tuesday of
last week, Rev. W.T. Hendren officiating. A brother of Mr. Moffatt
and also a brother of Mrs. Moffatt, came from Hartford, Wis., to
attend the funeral. They remained with the afflicted family nearly
a week for their comfort and consolation. Then one after another
departed.
