  • Obituary: Carleton Sentinel Woodstock,NB September 24,1887 Moses CRAIG, Indian Commissioner of Andover (Victoria Co.) died of paralysis at his home in Perth Centre on Sunday morn. His remains were interred on Tuesday in the F.C.B. cemetery at that place, the funeral being attended by Revs. Sisson, Orser and Vanwart. A correspondent writes that the deceased was the youngest son of the late Sgt. Daniel CRAIG who was a member of the first military school or encampment ever held in Fredericton upwards of 75 years ago and upon his discharge from service was granted a plot of land about 200 acres off what is known as the Tobique Indian Reserve in Perth. Here he lived and raised his family and died Jan. 24th, 1874. Here his family lived and died, not one of the six boys ever as much as went farther away from his home than St. John, and then only for a few days. The old home now passes to the Craig family of the third generation. He leaves a wife and family of nine children. - nearly all are grown up to mourn their loss.
