The sad news as above was received here Monday morning, and though it was known for some days that she was critically ill; yet the blow came as it always does with a crushing suddenness. Fanny DOUGLAS was born in Savannah, where she died, April 27th., 1832, and was married to Asa J. ROSE in 1851. After the war of the rebellion, through which the husband and father served with honor, while the patriotic mother cared for the little ones without a murmur, they moved west and in 1881 located in this village, where they have ever held prominent place in society and in the affections of our citizens until the death of Mr. ROSE, in 1897. Since that time Mrs. ROSE has divided her home life between the children here and those in New York. A number of years ago an accident rendered her unable to continue the full social life of the past, but the love of her many friends tendered her such kind attention as made her last years pleasant, even with the intense physical suffering at times endured. She leaves two brothers, and two sisters, and her children, F. B. ROSE, of South Butler, N. Y; Mrs. Ida EVANS, of Oakland, Cal.; Mrs. Jeannette WOODWORTH, Grayling; Mrs. Katharine EVANS, Savannah, N. Y., and Fred G. ROSE, Waynesburg, Pa.
Her body was brought home yesterday, accompanied by F. G. ROSE and Mrs. Katharine EVANS, and will be laid beside her husband in our cemetery this afternoon, the funeral services being held at 2 o'clock.
"Not dead but entered into life!
The warfare past, the victory won;
Oh friends who loved her, try to say
'Dear Father may Thy will be
She lives, she lives forever."
