HUGH ROSEWARNE
Well Known and Respected Citizen Passes Away
Hugh Rosewarne, a well known and highly respected pioneer resident of this section, died today at 1 p.m. at his home on Oak street, aged 53 years.
Deceased was a son of the late Charles Rosewarne, a prominent Cass county farmer, who resided three miles southeast of his place for years.
A few days ago Mr. Rosewarne underwent an operation, which was made necessary by a stomach and bowel trouble, and had since been speedily on the decline.
Deceased is survived by a wife, who was formerly Miss Bessie Spere, daughter of Mrs. Weatherly, and four brothers and three sisters--John, Charles and Sidney of Chicago; Henry, who resides at the Rosewarne homestead; Mrs. Lovell, Mrs. Gorton and Miss Georgia Rosewarne of Chicago.
Mrs. Lovell arrived from Chicago this afternoon about 10 minutes after Mr. Rosewarne had breathed his last.
The deceased traveled for years as salesman for Hayden Bros., wholesale lumber dealers of Chicago, and for the past year had conducted a retail grocery in the east part of town.
Funeral announcement hereafter.
