The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1907-02-23

HNOTHER of San Juan county S
IA earliest pioneers has gone to
his final rest. Christopher Roster,
for nearly half century one of the
best known residents of this island,
died of paralysis of the bowels at ST.
Johns hospital, Port Townsend, Fri
day night, Feb. 10Th. His health
had been poor for quite long time
but he was able to be about until
quite recently and he acted as one of
the pail bearers at the funeral of his
old time friend, Capt. Warbass, Dec.
rs.
Mr.. Rosler was born in Hesse Cas-
Sci, Germany, Oct9, 1898. He came
to this country when fourteen years
old and apprenticed himself to shoe
maker in New York Ci'y for three
years but ran away after ten mon
tbs. The spirit of adventure was
strong within him and h enlisted in
the army in the 9th regiment of in
fantry which was sent to this coast
to garrison the wilderness forts and
protect the scattered settlers. He
was member of Company d, COM
manded by Capt. Geo. E. Pickett,
and which came to this island from
Fort Bellingham to establish and
garrison Fort San Juan in July 1859.
When his term of enlistment expired
he settled upon tract of land not
far from the fort" to which he sub
sequently acquired title under the
homestead act. And there he lived
for more than forty years, doing his
duty from day to day and from year
to year as he saw it-a kind husband,
an indulgent father, good neighbor
and a good citizen. He was quiet,
unobtrusive man, never boastful, up
right and honorable in his dealings
with his fellow men, and his word was
as good as his bond. He was married
in 1860 to Miss Anna Pike, who was
born in British Columbia in 1910. A
few days before his death he decided
his fine farm to her and also trans
ferred to her his personal property.
His wife, four daughters and three
sons survive him, viz. Mrs. Stafford
Merrifeld, Mrs. Bernard Mordhorst,
Mrs. A. Thrones, Lorena, Rudolph,
Mark and William. AL! but Mrs.
Thrones and Mark are residents OF
this county. Mrs. Thrones home is
at Mica, Spokane county, and Mark
is employed at Portland, Oregon.
All except Mrs. Mordhorst were
present at the funeral, which took
place Monday at the Presbyterian
church in the valley, Rev. S. V. War
rem, of East Sound. officiating. The
pail bearers were among the oldest
settlers of the island - Mr.. E. P.
Bailer, Mr.. S. v. Boyce, MIR. Peter
Lawson, Sr., Mr.. H. Penshaw, Mr..
Geo. w. Smith and Mr.. p E. Peter
son, whose combined ages aggregate
nearly 40 years, Mr.. Bailer being
the oldest and Mr.. Peterson the
Youngest.
