On Sabbath morning, April 20, Mrs. Rosetta Blackwood passed away from this life. She contracted the measles and later acute peritonitis setting in she was compelled to lay down her life's work and go to her reward.
Miss Rosetta X. Kerr was born three miles south of Idana, Clay county, Kansas, on January 28, 1879. She passed away from this life April 20, 1913, at her home in Manhattan.
She was married to Robert U. Blackwood September 3, 1902, at the home of her father. She leaves behind her a husband and three children, also a mother, brother and sister. Her many friends mourn her death and sympathize with those who are bereaved.
Mr. Blackwood sold his farm, five miles northwest of Idana, last fall and he, with his family, moved to Manhattan, when they lived until the present ime [sic]. He feels his loss very deeply and the children will realize more and more what it has meant to them to be left without a mother's care.
Mrs. Blackwood had shown an exemplary Christian character from her earliest years. She united with the Hebron congregation at the age of eleven years and followed the Master until He took her home. Her last words were "With Jesus." This she repeated many times. The last portion of Scripture that was read to her was the forty-sixth Psalm. This was read at her request.
"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." Rev. 14:13.
