Sara Burdick Rosebush, daughter of Stephen C. Burdick, was born at Alfred, N. Y., November 4, 1851, and died at Appleton, Wis., February 12, 1924.
Her people were of Sturdy New England stock; pious, thrifty, and interested in education. She early entered Alfred Academy and continued her studies until she graduated from the college in the class of 1872. A thorough training in music was included in her education.
After graduation she taught first in Woodhull Academy, then for a time at Hamburg, N. Y., and in Springville Academy, where she had charge of the music department.
She possessed both musical skill and the power of musical interpretation to a very high degree. She was a teacher of rare ability.
In 1875 she was married to George Wesley Rosebush, and with her husband established a home in Alfred.
During many years after her marriage she taught music in Alfred and had charge of the music in the church. For twenty-five years she served as organist of the church.
Their home was blessed with four sons, and the training and education of those boys was a welcome task to which both mother and father devoted their lives with a zeal, system, and order seldom equaled.
Highly intellectual and deeply spiritual she, with her husband, thought out definite goals and ideals toward which the family program was constantly directed.
Never was that program relinquished until all the boys were graduated from college and established in homes or in business for themselves. That achievement was the great lifewotk of their home. And faithfully, lovingly, but uncompromisingly she devoted herself to that task until it was accomplished.
In early life she professed faith in Christ, was baptized by Elder N. V. Hull, and united with the First Alfred Seventh Day Baptist Church, of which she remained a faithful member throughout life. Her interests in the church and in religion were expressed in many other ways than in her long and able service as director of music.
She was interested and active in ladies' societies and various other organizations of the church. She expressed through these and other channels, a strong faith and profound religious experience.
Alfred University shared her deep and abiding interest. She was always solicitous for its welfare, and contributed in every way she could to the happiness and comfort of the students. No opportunity for rendering a service or giving encouragement to anyone escaped her.
For the past four years Mr. and Mrs. Rosebush have resided in Wisconsin in order to be near their sons who live in that state.
She is survived by her husband, now in frail health, and by her four sons, Judson G., of Appleton, Wis.; Franz H., of Port Edwards, Wis.; Stephen C., of Appleton, Wis.; and Waldo A., of Spokane, Wash.
Funeral services at Alfred, February 14, were conducted by President Davis of Alfred University, assisted by Pastor Ehret of the First Alfred Church. Interment at the Alfred Rural Cemetery.
