Mrs. Wm. H. Rosewarne died in this city on Friday last, about 12 o'clock, aged 57 years.  Mr. Rosewarne came in this place in 1834, remained here two or three years and returned and married Miss Eliza Ann Hunt, of Dutchers[sic] Co. N.Y., and moved here permanently in 1840.  They lived together 36 years. She was the mother of 8 children, only two of whom are now living; one, the wife of Edwin Gillett, the other a boy of 17.  Mrs.R. has been in ill health for nearly six years, and was finally taken with Pheumonia[sic] which caused her death.--She died with her hand in her husbands uttering as near as could be understood these words: "Now is the appointed time; to-day is the day of salvation."  She crossed the river as silently and peacefully as if in a quiet sleep. She was beloved by all who knew her, for her benevolence, her kindness in sickness and distress. She was ever ready to do good to all around her.  Kind friends deeply sympathize with the bereaved husband and family.

Note: Email from family member 2/21/2012 indicates that maiden name was Hicks, not Hunt as indicated in obit above.
