July 8, 1897
Mrs. Rachel Ann Roszell, wife of Rev. Joseph Roszell, a local preacher of Tippecanoe City, died on Sunday evening, July 4th, 1897. Her last illness which lasted six weeks, was very severe from the first. She became better, however, after about two weeks, and all entertained strong hopes of her recovery. But on Monday, one week prior to her death, a relapse came, and although all was done that loving hands and tender care with physician's skill could do, yet it was apparent that the end was drawing near, and in the evening of the Sabbath day, she quietly and gently passed away. She leaves a husband and four children to mourn her loss. These were all permitted to be with her in her last days and minister to her wants. She was born in Virginia, September 1st, 1832, thus being 64 years, 10 months and 3 days old at the time of her decease. She was married to Joseph Roszell June 22nd, 1851. All their married life was spent in Miami County, where they had a large circle of acquaintances and friends. In early life she united with the Methodist Episcopal Church and ever remained a faithful consistent member of the same. The funeral was held in the M. E. Church of Tippecanoe City, Wednesday, July 7, conducted by the pastor, J. R. Hill. Burial at Maple Hill Cemetery.
