IN MEMORY
"And now she's gone away, it seems
To us she's only deep in dreams,
She is so quiet, so lonely in her bed,
The wind about her and the dark o'er head,
What if she calls and is uncomforted?
A heart! She needs not any touch or light,
Since God is with her in the night."
Fifty-nine years ago, Dec. 18, Julia Anne Watson was born. In 1876 she united with the Addison M. Church and has ever since been one of its most ardent workers. Thirty-four years ago yesterday, May 29, 1879, she was united in marriage to Samuel V. Rothgeb, and unto this union were given three daughters. One only, Ella Louise, grew to womanhood under her loving guidance.
She was a boloved member of the Ladies' Aid society, and starting as a charter member of the "Willing Workers," has, for twenty-five years, been its loyal member, and not only a dear friend of those of her own age, her daughter's friends all thought of her as their true companion and a loving member of their A.B.C. club. Always a most devoted wife and mother, an affectionate sister, a cheerful companion and loving teacher whom her pupils dearly remember. All these and more will miss her.
For:-
"There's nothing so sweet as keeping sweet,
Nothing so fair and fine,
As scattering roses beneath the feet,
And helping the sun to shine."
All this did she, and while she leaves a husband, daughter, and two sisters to await that day which will unite them again beyond the possibility of parting, let them live with this sweet thought;
"There is no death, what seems so is transition,
For ever near us tho' unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
Since all the boundless universe of life,
There is no death."
And so:--
"This is the end of her perfect day,
The end of her journey, too,
But it leaves a thot that is big and strong,
A wish that is kind and true.
For memory has painted a perfect day,
With colors that never fade,
And we find at the end of a perfect day,
A soul that he has saved."
Burial will be in Gravel Hill Cemetery in Cheshire Twp.
