  • Notes 
    • A marker inscription in Brookside Cemetery reads:

      Mosher, Millage E. 29 Sep 1867 - 12 Mar 1938; his wife Lillian May 29 Aug 1873 - 15 Mar 1951; Mosher, Capt. Roy Milton 18 Feb 1901 - 7 Apr 1957, Lost At Sea; Mosher, John Edward 1 Nov 1899 - 24 Nov 1966; Mosher, Lilla May 21 Sep 1906 - 22 Dec 1906; Mosher, Donald Millage 28 Nov 1909 - 8 Dec 1910; Mosher, Victor 24 May 1911 - 26 Aug 1911; Mosher, Grace 21 Aug 1914 - 25 Sep 1914; Children of Millage & Lillian Mosher [Sec D, #194]

      However, a NS Civil death record records the death of daughter Lilla May  on 26 Aug 1911 at age 5 months. Further, although the 1911 Census records an infant male born May 1911 in this family, the relationship column appears to be overwritten with the word  "Dau".  Also, it would appear that names and dates of the four children on the marker were added sometime well after their deaths; so it is quite possible that something got transposed in the process.

      Since it is very difficult to discount that death record, I think the most likely explanation is that the  marker is wrong and that it is Lilla May who dies 1911 which probably means that it is son Victor who dies 1906.
