MRS. CHAS. ROSKEY[SIC] SURVIVES HUSBAND BUT A FEW MONTHS
It seems that after losing her companion for nearly half a century, Mrs. Chas. Roskay, Sr. was unable to travel this life alone and she passed away this noon. Her husband died in January of this year and since then the aged lady had been gradually failing.
For 45 years she had resided in Niles, a good Christian woman, well thought of by all and loved by those who knew her best. Four children remain to revere her memory and profit by the example of a good life.
The funeral services will be held Monday afternoon from the home, 706 Cass street, by Rev. W.H. Phelps, with interment in Silver Brook cemetery.
