MARY ROACH
MARCH 11, 1887
Mary Roach, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Roach, of Mona township, Ford county, died at the home of her parents at midnight Tuesday, March 8; aged 17 years and 4 months.
Four weeks previous to her death, Miss Roach was returning from school in the midst of a heavy rainstorm. Her father had started to meet her with additional clothing; but upon her reaching home she was found to be saturated with the beating rain; she was taken ill, and never recovered from her sickness, she gradually grew weaker, until death claimed her.
Mary Roach was a girl who took deep interest in her school work, and looked forward to the day when she could make use of her education to assist her parents, who have a large family and are hard working, honest, industrious people. She was loved and admired by all who knew her, being of a kind, affectionate disposition. Her loss is a severe one to her parents, who have the sympathy of their neighbors and all in this sad taking away.
The funeral occurred on Thursday from her late home to St. Patrick's church, this city, where Father V.D. Hagen preached a very able and sympathetic discourse.
After the funeral services at the church, the remains were followed to their last home in S. Patrick's cemetery by a large concourse of sympathizing neighbors and friends.
