The 15 January 1915 edition of the Whitewater [Walworth County, Wisconsin] Register contains the following obituary for Rosetta Bullock Gould Beardsley:
Mrs. Rosetta Beardsley, wife of Najah Beardsley, died Monday afternoon [11 January 1915] at the [Walworth] County Asylum [in Elkhorn] where she had been cared for for the past three years [since about 1912]. The body was brought here [Whitewater], and the funeral services were held at 10:00 yesterday [14 January 1915] at the home of her brother Samuel M. Bullock.
Rosetta Bullock was born in Batavia, New York, March 16, 1829. She was married to Horace Gould about 60 years ago [actually, in 1851] and to them were born a son Charles Gould and a daughter, Estella Gould Webber, both of whom have passed away. Mr. Gould died in 1900. Their home had been at Harvard, Illinois, and at Milton, Wisconsin.
The second husband, Najah Beardsley, survives her. They made their home in Whitewater until he was no longer able to care for her because of her failing mental faculties. He was an affectionate husband and was nearly ninety when he was taken to Spokane, Washington, by his relatives [in about 1912], and she was taken to the asylum.
