Her husband, Henry Roush, passed away several years ago. To their union ten children were born, of whom seven are living. They are Isaac Roush, living southeast of Mt. Zion; Claude, living at the home place; Charles and Oscar Roush and Mrs. Ethel Jones, wife of Samuel Jones, all three living in Oklahoma; Mrs. Bertha Gibson, wife of Claude Gibson, living in Ohio; and Mrs. Earl West, of Mt. Zion. The deceased children are Samuel and Miss Tella Roush and Mrs. Samuel Bassett. The latter died only a few weeks ago in Oklahoma and was returned to Mt. Zion for burial.
