Spaniard's Bay, February 4 -
Mr. Moses Gosse, 74, passed away at his home at Tilton on Saturday evening, February 1. Deceased had been in failing health for some months.
Moses Gosse will be remembered by many of the older men who worked in the iron ore surface pits and later the mines at Bell Island from just after the turn of the century up to the early thirties. Like his contemporaries he worked hard and long for little pay, but he always stuck to his job even if it meant crossing Conception Bay with others in a small punt, in darkness and in light, in calm and in tempest, in summer and in winter.
His funeral was held on Monday with the service at All Saints' Church and at the graveside being conducted by the rector, Rev. Canon T. E. Loder.
To his widow, his son Frederick, his daughters, Lillian (Mrs. Crane of Tilton) and Pearl (Mrs. Thorne) of New Harbour), we offer our sincere sympathy.
