Nancy Elizabeth Rosser, wife of Jeff Rosser, was born October 4, 1865, and died November 6, 1928, aged 63 years. She leaves five children: namely, M.C. Rosser of Jackson; Cap of Wildersville; Clifford of Bruceton; Mrs. C.W. (Lena) Scott of Wildersville; and Mrs. Cecil Parker (Sella) Parker of Portageville, Missouri, also six grandchildren, three brothers and six sisters. She was the third child of a family of 12 children to die. Mrs. Rosser was the daughter of the late John and Kizzie Blount. She lived a devout member of the Baptist Church since childhood and her funeral was conducted in that church at Wildersville by Revs. Fleetwood Ball and A.U. Nunnery on Wednesday afternoon. She was sick about three months of complications but developed pneumonia last month and died at five o'clock Tuesday morning. Mrs. Rosser's husband was our friend, but it was not our pleasure to know her except through others who paid high tribute to her character and disposition. He died several years ago. We had more than one reason for interest in her, one being that she was the maternal grandmother of Lawton Scott, who lived under our roof during his last term in high school. The places of such women are not easily filled.
