Moses Kester
As was announced in yesterday's issue, Moses Kester, an aged resident
of South Easton, died suddenly at about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
He was engaged at Stewart & Co.'s wire mill and while at work there,
was seized with a paralytic stroke and fell to the floor. Some fellow-employees
picked him up to carry him home, but he died on the way.
Moses Kester was born in the upper part of Pennsylvania, in 1812,
and was therefore seventy-one years of age. He had resided in this
vicinity for nearly thirty-five years, of which twenty-six had been
spent in South Easton. Although a tanner by trade, during the above-mentioned
period he had followed canal boating and lock tending, until twelve
years ago, when he entered the employ of Stewart & Co., where he
remained until his death. He leaves a wife and three children, two
married.
