Moses Catchick Moses, Death July 1920, Singapore
LATE MR. M. CATCHICK MOSES
Last Member of the Historic Armenian Family
There passed away on Thursday morning of last week Mr. Moses Catchick Moses who, with the exception of a daughter, Mrs. J. Carapiet, was the sole remaining link in Singapore with this historic Armenian family. He was the last of four brothers of whom all except the eldest were unmarried.
The late Mr. Catchick Moses, the head of the family, came to Singapore a short time after its foundation by Sir Stamford Raffles. He was not then a wealthy man but at the time of his death he is said to have been worth a fortune, mainly through investment in landed property. He was a conscpicuous figure in the commercial life of Singapore at the end of the last century, being always seen in public in frock coat and top hat. For many years he was the managing partner of the late firm of Sarkies and Moses, who were the Singapore agents of Apcar's line of stamers running between Calcutta, Penang, Singapore and Hongkong.
Among the property he owned was that at Oxley Rise, known as the Pavilion House in the regime of the Indian Government, until the transfer, when the first Colonial Governor, the late Sir Harry Ord, acquired Prinsep Hill, on which he built the present Government House. The Pavilion was in the occupation of the family till last year when it was auctioned and bought by Mr. Manasseh Meyer.
The funeral took place on Friday afternoon from 3 Koek-road to the Armenian Church in Hill-street, followed later by the burial in the family plot in the old cemetery in Bukit Timah-road.

The Late Mr. J. Carapiet
Death of Well-known Citizen
The death took place yesterday at his home at an advanced age, or Mr. Jacob Carapiet, a member of the Armenian community and one of the most respected of Singapore's elder citizens. Mr. Carapiet had been in Singapore from early manhood and had been educated in Calcutta where he also did business for a time as a merchant. In Singapore his ability brought him a sound commercial connection and investing wisely in landed property he became a man of substance. He took a great interest in Singapore's affairs and was for a number of years a member of the Municipal Commission before its circle was so greatly extended, his knowledge of the town and his sympathy for the inhabitants making his membership very valuable. He married the youngest daughter of the late Mr. Cathick Moses, a well-known resident of the old days, and leaves, besides his widow, many descendants.
A staunch member of the Armenian Church, he was for many years its Warden, whilst his philanthropy was well known. Like the late Sir Manasseh Meyer, with whom he was a contemporary, he had retired from general life here for some time and was little known to the newer generation of citizens, but a man of kindly heart and genial disposition allied to much business capacity, he was a citizen of whom the Town could well feel proud. The funeral takes place this afternoon at the Armenian church at four o'clock and later at Bidadari.
