History
Fred George Moses, 1885-1959, was born in Monmouthshire, Wales, and emigrated to Ottawa, Ontario in 1903. In 1905 he joined the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) at Regina and served at Grenfell, Saskatchewan before being posted to Pincher Creek, Alberta in 1908. He was discharged in 1911. He married Edna May in 1913, and they had six children, Roderick, Clifford, Owen, David, Ralph and Olwen (Smythe).
In 1917 Fred joined the Alberta Provincial Police, which had been established that year to assume the duties of the Royal North-West Mounted Police (RNWMP) in Alberta. Fred was put in charge of the Lac La Biche detachment, and in 1923 he was transferred to Wainwright. He was promoted to corporal in 1924. In 1927 he was transferred to Stony Plain and in 1930 he took over the Athabasca detachment. After the APP disbanded in 1932, Fred rejoined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
He retired in 1934, returning to Fort Macleod, where he took up sign painting and established a real estate and fire insurance agency.
