The following obituary was published in the Rosenberg Herald on June 14, 1940:

"Wesley C. Moers"

Saturday morning, June 8, 1940, the angel of death again visited our little city and received from it one of our most beloved and highly esteemed citizens. Wesley C. Moers death came to Mr. Moers following an accident on Tueday afternoon when he fell from a residence on which he was the building contractor. He was rushed to the Fort Bend hospital where everything was done to save his life, but to no avail.

Mr. Moers was born on December 25, 1886 in Harris County, Texas. When a small child, he moved with his parents to Rosenberg, where he continued to live until his death. He received his education from the public schools and from Blinn College, Brenham. He was born in a Christian home and was reared in the Methodist church, remaining a faithful and useful member until his death. He served as Superintendent of the local Methodist Sunday School, Sunday School teacher, Steward Trustee, and in various other capacities of his church, always supporting the church and its cause generously. At the time of his death he was serving on the Board of Stewards.

On August 9, 1909, Mr. Moers was united in marriage to Miss Katherine Schmersahl. This was a very happy marriage, where love and loyalty stood the test in good times and when times were not so good; they united together and determined to push forward and proved God's promise in those who kept the faith. To this happy union three fine daughters were born; he was a loyal, happy father and adored his daughters.

Mr. Moers was a building contractor & master builder. He leaves many beautiful buildings to reflect his ability as a builder of material things, but the most important heritage that he leaves is the memory of a man who lived his entire life in the same community without any cause for reproach. Mr. Moers was fair and honest, this it seemed at times made him a little unpopular, but he stood fast to his convictions, mattered not the cost when honesty and fairness were at stake. He cared not for earthly earthly treasures if they were possible only through ill-gotten ways, his workmanship always stood the test.

Mr. Moers served this City of Rosenberg as Water Commissioner for six years. The editor of the Herald who had known him as long as he had known anyone in the world served with him as his Mayor and certainly had an opportunity to become acquainted with his fine traits of character. Mr. Moers served in this capacity with fairness and no task was too great for him to undertake for the benefit of the entire citizenship of Rosenberg. He, like all human beings, possibly made some mistakes in carrying on the business of the city, but if he did make mistakes they were not of the mind and heart and he was ready to rectify them.

Deceased is survived by his heartbroken wife, Mrs. Katerine Moers, three daughters, Mrs. Joe Blasdel of Richmond, Mrs. George Hausler and Miss Lavonne Moers of Rosenberg; three brothers, W. A. Moers of Wharton, Henry Moers of Addicks and Herman F. Moers of Rosenberg and a host of other relatives and friends.

Funeral services were held at the First Methodist Church in Rosenberg Sunday afternoon, June 9, 1940, at 3 o'clock. Rev. Ben Behrens, his beloved pastor, conducted the services in the presence of a great assembllage of sorrowing loved ones and friends. The large and beautiful floral offering, attested to the high esteem in which Mr. Moers was held in this community. The Foerster Funeral Home of Rosenberg had charge of funeral arrangements. Interment took place in the Moers addition, an addition owned by the deceased, in the W.O.W. Cemetery of Rosenberg.

Active pallbearers were nephews of the deceased: George and Lonnie Schmersahl, Leonard Wofford, Garvin Moers, Raymond Moers, Henry Moers, Albert Moers and Bertrand Moers. Honorary pallbearers were: Mayor M. E. Parrott, Judge W. F. Finck, Commissioner Tom Talasek, Jr. and Judge Edwsard Risinger. * * *
