There
must still be some few residents of Simcoe who have recollections of
Mr. Moses R. Counter, a younger brother of Simcoe's senior
business-man, Mr. George F. Counter.
Half
a century ago he went to school in Simcoe and afterwards learned the
jewellry business with his brother. He married a Simcoe girl and
subsequently started in the jewellry business in Seaforth. So long
as he resided there he was a frequent visitor to Simcoe.
About
twenty-five years ago he moved to Honolulu, H.I., where he has ever
since been carrying on business.
Word
of his death there after a very brief illness, on Monday, 23rd
November, was received by his Simcoe relatives a few days ago.
Deceased
was born in Devon, England, and was in his 60th year. He will be
remembered by all survivors of the Fenwick Rifles as a member of
that body.
