Husband of Lottie (Houseal) Roath

"Charles E. Roath died at his home in Maytown at an early hour Monday morning of consumption after an illness of two years. The deceased was 42 years of age and a cigar maker by trade. For many years he sang in the Reformed Church choir, being possessed of a deep bass voice. He later joined the Lutheran Church. He was also a member of Marietta Castle, No. 201, and Marietta Commandery, No. 139, Knights of Malta. He is survived by his wife, his mother and the following brothers and sisters: Jacob, of Rowenna; William and Elmer, of Maytown, Sadie, wife of Warren Sloan, of Maytown and Miss Anna, at home. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon with services in the Lutheran Church at 1 o'clock and interment in the adjoining cemetery. The Maytown Band, of which disease was formally a member, attended the funeral and rendered music. The Knights of Malta, of this place, also attended in a body. The floral attributes were many and beautiful."
