He was the adopted son of John George Rosenswike, who came from Baden, Germany, before che War Between the States, and Miss Mary Martin of Columbia County, Georgia. j At the age of 13 he united with Horeb Baptist Church where he was a life-long member. He served as superintendent of the Sabbath j school 35 years and was deacon of the church for many years. He loved the church and was always at his post of duty unless unavoid ably kept away. Mr. Rosenswike was a man who tried to live “The Golden Rule.” He always stood for the best and kept high Christian ideals ever before him. He was a daily read er of the Bible. Mr. Rosenswike was happily mar ried to Sarah Jane Cothran on P’eb- ruary 20, 1889. He enjoyed very good health un til six weeks before he died, being confined to his bed most of the time. All that friends and dear ones could do was done but he passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E. M. Price, where he spent the last two weeks of his life. He was a devoted husband and father. He brought his chil dren up in the Sabbath school and church from earliest childhood and now they rise up and call him blessed. Mr. Rosenswike leaves to mourn his passing, four daughters and two sons: Mrs. E. M. Price, Troy; Mrs. W. T. Walker, McCormick; Mrs. G. H. Harrison, Greenwood; Miss Carrie Mae, J. M. and G. C. Rosenswike, of Troy, and fourteen grandchildren. Mr. Roswensike was a surveyor and has a wide circle of friends whe are grieved to know of nis passing. He was tenderly laid to rest be neath a mound of lovely home grown flowers Saturday, April 30th, at 4 o’clock in the Troy cemetery. Many friends stood by the open grave, showing the last earthly res pects to a deceased friehd, whit, the Rev. O. L. Orr of Plum Branch Baptist Church conducted the fun eral sorvices. Several selection 1 , were sung. J. S. Strom’s service in charge. How could we bear this sorrow if it were not for the presence of friends, a comforting word, a gentle handshake, and the thought that cur friend and loved one is “At Rest” and has entered the place where Jesus says He has prepared for those who love Him. There is a heartache which only time can heal, A vacant place which can’t be i filled, A sorrow that friends can share, A voice that is forever stilled. Mrs. Rosenswike died suddenly j last August, and what a happy re- ; union after a separation of eight months. | The regular monthly meeting of the Woman’s Missionary Society of Plum Branch Methodist Church, was held April 14th with Mrs. Ezra O. Langley, having eleven members and two visitors present, Mrs. E. C. Rice presiding. The meeting was opened with a song, followed by the scripture. An interesting dialogue was given by Mrs. Rice and Miss Lucy Brown,_ after which Mrs. Rice led us in prayer. . , The roll was called and minutes read by the secretary. Quarterly reports of the various officers and committees offered much in inter est and encouragement. The treas urer’s report showed that the mem bers had not fallen behind with their pledge during the quarter. New members enrolled during the quarter were Mrs. C. E. Walls and Mrs. R. J. Sturkey. The question as to who would represent our society at the An nual Missionary meeting of the upper S. C. Conference, came up for enthusiastic discussion. After the business a very inter esting program was rendered by Mrs. R. J. Sturkey and Miss Irene Langley. Probably the most con structive thing was a helpful Bible study class, led by Miss Amelia Wideman, being informal with questions and discussions. Mrs. E. L. Langley, superintendent of mis sion and Bible study, appointed Mrs. R. J. Sturkey to take charge of the Bible study class at our next meeting. A delightful social hour was en joyed after the meeting, during which ice cream and cake were served by the hostess. The invitation of Mrs. E. C. Rice was accepted for the May meeting of the society.
