Fred William Rossmiller was born July 26, 1882 at Craig, Missouri, and passed away June 14, 1946, at the Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital in Hastings, Nebraska, at the age of 63 years, 10 months and 19 days.
As an infant he was brought to Nemaha County, Nebraska, and when nine years old settled with his parents near Kiowa. Baptized into the Lutheran faith as an infant, he was confirmed April 11, 1897, at Kiowa, and was a devout and faithful member of his church until death.
He was united in marriage to Mary Dorothy Mesloh, on January 31, 1907 at Deshler. Their union was blessed by twelve children, ten of whom survive.
With the exception of a couple of years spent in business at White City, Kansas, and in Chester, he spent his life on farms around Deshler, Hebron, and Chester. He had spent his last nineteen years on a farm north of Chester where he had successfully weathered drought years and depression, and was regarded by neighbors, as a good farmer, a shrewd business man and a friend willing to lend a hand at all times.
His health had started to fail in the Fall of 1943, and though in poor health, he had continued to operate his farm until late the past year. Although he failed rapidly, he did not give up hope until his last few days, when it became apparent that medical aid or loving care were without avail. Until the end he sough courage and help from the Lord.
He is survived by his wife, Mary; two sons and eight daughters, Mrs. Emma Meyer Hardy, Nebraska; Mrs. Flora Taylor, Eatontown, New Jersey; Arthur Rossmiller, Chester, Nebraska; Mrs. Viola Taylor, Cortez, Colorado; Mrs. Lydia Willerton, Los Angeles, California; Mrs. Irene Rice, Los Angeles, California; and Rosa, Wilbur, Aileen and Bernice at home; three brothers, Albert, Wild Rose, No. Dakota; and John and Henry of Deshler; and a sister, Mrs. Dina Kreinbring of Deshler; five grand-children and a host of other relatives and friends.
