PERSONAL
[Welland Tribune, 30 May 1872]
Welland has this week lost one of it most prominent citizens in the removal of Mr. Moses Betts to St. Catharines. Mr. Betts has been compelled just now to remove for this reason: Having sold his property here some time ago, with the intention of removing to Michigan, and not having as yet perfected his arrangements for leaving this section, he would have staid in Welland, but was unable to procure a house to live in, and was compelled to move to St. Catharines where, notwithstanding all the “blowing” the Saints do about their progress, there are yet a few empty houses. It is very seldom the case that removal from a town indicates prosperity, but in some respects such is the case in Mr. B’s departure.

PERSONAL-The many friends of Mr. Betts formerly of this place and now residing in Flint, Michigan, will regret to learn that he has lost his youngest child by death. The body was brought to Fonthill for interment, on Christmas day, the party driving up from the G.R.S. Station in carriages. The family have the warmest sympathy for all in their bereavement.
Died: 21 December 1872
