  Father	George Alexander MOSHER,   b. 15 Jan 1850, Musquodoboit Harbour, Halifax, NS d. 12 May 1924, Ostrea Lake, Halifax, NS (Age 74 years)
  Mother	Catherine Elizabeth BOWSER,   b. 1853, Musquodoboit Harbour, Halifax, NS d. 1888, Ostrea Lake, Halifax, NS (Age 35 years)
  Marriage	9 Dec 1872	Musquodoboit Harbour, Halifax, NS   [5]
  Notes	The 1881 Census lists two children--Cevila age 8, and Loria age 7--as members of the family of George and Catherine MOSHER. However, they are too young to be daughters of Catherine, who is now age 60, so are apparently grandchildren. Also living with the family is son George, who is known to marry Catherine BOWSER in 1872. In 1885, George remarries, and there is no sign of Catherine in 1881. And finally, George and Catherine are known to have a daughter named Laura b. 1873. So, my conclusion is that the Cevila and Loria in the 1881 Census are the daughters of George, who is now widowed, and Catherine (BOWSER) MOSER.
