A large concourse of friends and neighbors attended. Interment was made in Forest Hill cemetery,. Relatives attending from out of town were Ormande McMullen, of Big Rapids, Mrs. Ada Charleton, of Minnesota, and James, of Ontario, the latter three being with her at time of death. Mrs. Rosser had recently returned to her home in Detroit. Deceased was always a true and loving wife, a kind and thoughtful mother and sister and sincere in her trust in Christ her Redeemer. God grant she may be sleeping in that noble trust. "
