Died. In this city, last evening, Wednesday, July
18, 1883, at 6 p.m., of typhoid fever, Miss Jessie F. Rohrer, youngest daughter
of G.B. and Eliza C. Rohrer, aged about twenty years.
Miss Rohrer came to
this city some two years ago with her parents, and was the youngest of three
sisters. We were not personally
acquainted with her, but those who were speak of her in the highest terms as a
young lady of the best type. Her home
with her father, mother, sisters, and friends was the joy of her life. None knew her but to respect and esteem her,
and her death leaves a sad spot on many hearts in this city. For many days did life unconsciously to her
hang upon the slenderest threat upon which it suspends between this world and
the Beyond, but the angel Death last evening, as the day's works were being
ended, thought best to give her permanent relief from the ailments and trials
here below.
The funeral will be
held at the residence of G.B. Rohrer on South Main street, Saturday, July 21,
1883, at 10 a.m. and to which all are invited.
