Moise Noel and Marguerite Latremouille spent the rest of their days in Williamstown, surrounded by children and grandchildren and other extended family.
Moise and Marguerite were married for 43 years when Moise died on July 19, 1889 of Bright's Disease and apoplexy.4  His age at death gives one cause for pause.  If you use his year of birth, he was 65 yrs old at the time he died.  The death records list him as being 68 years old at the time of his death.  And his tombstone in Eastlawn Cemetery in Williamstown is inscribed with his age as 67 yrs old at time of death.
In February of 1898, Marguerite broke her collarbone while trying to avoid children coasting in the street during a visit with her son Charles in North Adams.  Marguerite, who would have been 74 year old at the time, was reported to be in "pretty bad condition; unsure if she will recover."7  On March 5, she was well enough to be transported.  Although son Frederic initially wanted her to be taken to his house in Williamstown, she ended up going back to her own home and eventually made a full recovery.7
Marguerite died on August 17, 1907 in Williamstown.4  The 1900 Williamstown census shows her as a resident of her son Frederic's household.6 Regardless of where she was living when she died, we know from reading the paragraph above that Marguerite's children watched carefully over her right up to the end. 
Marguerite rests in Eastlawn Cemetery beside her husband.8
