MOOERS, died in St. Louis, and on April 3d the funeral service occurred in the Presbyterian church, Green Bay, of which the deceased had long been a member, the remains were deposited in Woodlawn cemetery. Some of the old settlers of this county will undoubtedly remember Col. MOOERS, who represented Milwaukee and old Washington county in part, in the House of Representatives in the Territorial Legislature of 1845, and 46 being one of the six members from said counties, then elected by general ticket. When Sheboygan and Washington counties formed one representative district, he was again elected in the fall of 1847 (unreadable), having been elected in the fall of 1846; but Col. MOOERS resigned his seat in the spring session of 1848 on account of the Washington County seat question, the legislature refusing to pass the bill repealing the act of 1847 making Port Washington the county seat, and removing the same from Grafton where Col. MOOERS then resided, having been appointed by Judge MILLER of the U.S. District Curt, clerk of the court. The Col. was elected to the first Assembly under the new State Government in 1848 representing then the towns of Grafton, Cedarburg and Jackson. Being a particular friend of Gov. DODGE, then in the Senate, President PIERCE appointed him Register of the land office at Menasha and we lost sight of him after his removal to Green Bay where he died in 1863. The Col. was the son of Gen. MOOERS who distinguished himself at the battle of Plattsburg against the British, while commanding the militia of the State of New York. Mrs. MOOERS was but a few years younger than her husband whom she survived twenty-one years, being over 90 years of age at the time of her death. Three children survive her, one of them, a son, Hazen MOOERS lives in Milwaukee.
