In 1874 they moved to Woodstock, Richland Co., where Rosetta A. died in August 1882. In March 1896 her husband died at Woodstock.


She continued to reside there until 1911, when she moved near Thorp in Clark Co., where she resided until death.


On March 3, 1876, she obeyed the gospel of her Lord during the ministry of F. M. Stewart of Woodstock.


While her physical condition held up, she was always ready to give a helping had to those in need, but her work on earth is finished and she has gone to her reward.


She leaves two children, Beder A. and Charley G., five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren to mourn her loss, besides many, many friends who knew her where she lived.
