OBITUARY. Las: Friday morning
March 9th, Maria, the wife of John
Roush, residing "A few miles west Of
Madisonburg. in Brush Valley, depart
ed this life. The deceased was wo-
man we'll AMI favorabIy known in this
section of Centre county. Her life was
remarkable in many respects. Trials
hedged in her path patience and faith
lightened the burden she bore ; and
cheerful resignation to the will Of God
led her to perform the many good deeds
which made her life radiant with the
beams of goodness.
Mrs. Roush Was born in Bethlehem
twp, Northampton Co. Nov. Sth 1908.
Her parents, Daniel and Elizabeth
Schneider, removed to Nittany Valley
and settled in the vicinity Of Snyder's
church. After their death she was
left TO battle with The stern realities of
life. On the 10th of June, 1880, she
was married to Mr.. Swartz, who also
hailed from Northampton county.
They lived in Nittany valley while,
then removed to Brush aud finally set.
tied IN Penns valley, where Mr.. Swartz
died after long period of helplessness
caused by paralysis. Previous to his
death, he and his wife, served as sex
tons in the Reformed and Lutheran
churches at Aaronsburg. After his
death the subject of this notice contin-
ued to serve in this capacity. In all
she served over quarter OF century.
What faithful record is hers How
often she tolled the death knell that
proclaimed the transformers of human
life How often she rang out an in
vitation to the Gospel feast At
lelgth her own time came to lay do wn
the pilgrims staff and to enter into her
rest. The tolling of the bell declared
that from the church militant her soul
was transferred to the temple not huilt
with hands, eternal in the heavens.
81 had rather be doorkeeper in the
house of my God, than to dwell in the
tents of wickedness -
Three years after the death Of Mr..
Swartz, she was married to Mr.. John
Roush, one of Brush valleys esteemed
citizens. Here again her ministering
hand comforted her husband, who years
ago was rendered an invalid by paraly-
sis. Her kindly presence helped him
to bear The cross now laid upon him.
Although weary with the infirmities Of
age and the burdens of life, she was
contented with her lot and remained
loyal to her blessed Master. At length
form of bronchitis laid such hold up
on her that she gradually sank into the
embrace of death and at the ripe age of
76 years, 4 months and 10 days depart
ed this life. Were we to attempt to
picture in language her firm faith IN
Christ, her resignation to her Heaven
ly Fathers will and ter assured conf
dence IN the power of God to raise s.her
from the dead, words would but feebly
express how blessed was her commu.
nion with God.
The funeral services were held at the
Madsonburg Reformed church, pastor
N. J. Miller officiating. A large con-
course Of relatives and friends were
present to attest their love aud respect
for TIE deceased. The text chosen
was, "There remaineth therefor a
rest for the people of God" After a
long and useful life she rests in peace.
