Rev. William Carroll Roach, pastor of the Baptist church of this city and also of the Platte Center charge, died Friday morning at 9:20, after an illness of less than two weeks, from heart trouble and pneumonia. He was born February 1st, 1835, in Carroll county, Tennessee. In 1848 he moved with his parents to Illinois, where in 1860 he was ordained to preach in the Presbyterian church, and served his first congregation in Palmyra, Ill. In 1869 he joined the Baptist church, and was ordained to preach that faith in Girard, Ill. For many years he preached in central Illinois until 1900, when he took the pastoral charge of the Plainview, Nebraska, Baptist church. The latter part of last April Rev. Roach came to this city and has endeared himself to all those who have known him, by his christian qualities and genial, kindly nature. On December 1st, the deceased preached three sermons, here in Columbus in the morning and evening, and in Bellwood in the afternoon. He was taken ill during the evening sermon, and from that time was a sufferer. Rev. Roach was married to Miss E. Huskey, Oct. 22, 1858, and by their marriage they have three sons, Edgar B., who is a missionary to Burmah, Roy V., of Decatur, Ill., and John, of Aurora, Nebr. Miss Ella Norcross, an adopted daughter, and Carroll Roach, whose father is in Burmah, are those of the household at present. Funeral services were held Sunday morning in the church at 10 o'clock, Rev. Brinstead, Sup't of State Missions presiding, Rev. Munro and Rev. Luce assisting in the service. The main thought of the remarks was "I have fought the good fight." The pall-bearers were: W.A. Way, H. Burruss, R.Y. Lisco, A. Berger, Mr. Frazel, A.B. Cramer. The Masonic lodge attended the funeral in a body, and followed the remains to their last resting place in the Columbus cemetery.
