Mrs. Myrtle M. (Throckmorton) Rose, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Miles Throckmorton, was born Aug. 7, 1877, and died at her late home, 405 Laurel Street, on Oct. 6, 1928, at the age of 51 years.

She was united in marriage to John Rose on April 7, 1897. To this happy union was born one daughter, Rosetta Frances, who led the way into the glories of the Eternal World, Jan. 14, 1922.

Mrs. Rose, with her husband, became convicted of their sins and sought Christ to the joy and salvation of their souls. They united with the church known as Tyler Memorial U. B. Church.

Mrs. Rose was a strong, Christian character. She had her convictions and always was zealous for truth and right as she believed the Bible revealed it. She was so frank that some misunderstood her, and maybe misjudged her intentions and purposes.

Her life was a busy one; her time, talent, and material substance was consecrated in Christ. For a number of years, until her health began to fail, she was in attendance at every service held in her church if at all possible. Her church held the place in her affections, next to her home. Her talent or gift seemed to be that of teaching. She taught faithfully and effectively for at least one-half the time. She was a member of the church, and her experience as a teacher of the Ladies' Class for a number of years was a subject she took delight in. She recognized the ownership of God and the stewardship of man, and held in trust all of her possessions.

She was thoroughly evangelistic in spirit. A soul passion many times drove her beyond her strength. Her last concern was "that her life or death, in the providence of God, may influence her loved ones to seek her Christ."

Her missionary spirit caused her to unite her efforts with every organization to reach others. She was one of the most interested members of the W. M. A. Like Dorcas of old, she employed her needle to make garments for the Welfare and Salvation Army to be distributed to the poor.

For some time she has been conscious that the end of her earthly stay was near and, like saints of old, made all plans and preparations for a glorious end. It came when, Saturday morning, near the cock crowing, her cross was exchanged for her crown. A halo spread across her countenance as her spirit peaceably took its flight.

She leaves to mourn their loss: her husband, John Rose; her mother, Mrs. Miles Throckmorton; three sisters, Mrs. James Shine, Mrs. Clara Moss, of this city, and Mrs. Harry Thompson of Columbus, O.; six brothers, Arnold, Hiram, and Robert, this city; George of Petersburg, Va.; Miles of Portsmouth, O.; and Charles of near Frankfort, O.; besides her great number of relatives and friends.
