Celeste Isabel Case
(Communicated)
Celeste Isabel Rowcliffe, daughter of Wm. and Mary Ford Rowcliffe was bone in Ridgefield, Huron county, Ohio, July 11, 1849, the fourth of seven children.
The Eldest Mrs. A. C. Moffit of Princeville, Ill., passed away in January, 1886. Those surviving are Mrs. Bessie Smith of Akron, Ohio; John W. and James F. Rowcliffe of this city; George W. of Princeville, and Charles E. of Twin Falls, Idaho.
The family came to Peoria county in 1853, living one year at Kickapoo then making a permanent home in Jubilee township. Here she spent her girlhood days, attending school at Brimfield and later teaching in the county schools.
She married Albert W. Case February 15, 1872. To them was born one child, Mabel, wife of Peter S. Cline of 304 West McClure avenue, Peoria. Mr. and Mrs. Case spent most of their married life on the farm near Dunlap, coming to this city in 1895.
After a few years of active life, followed by failing health of some duration, Mr. Case died in August 1913. Since that time she has made her home with her daughter.
Being a brave, sunny disposition, perhaps few realized how rapidly the incurable disease was doing her work. Medical skill and loving care could not lessen the pain until the release came at twilight May 6, 1915.
Early if life she identified herself with the Presbyterian church at Princeville, later at Dunlap and was one of the charter members of Arcadia avenue Presbyterian church of this city. In these days of new religious ideas her strong convictions of right and wrong would perhaps designate her as an old-fashioned woman.
Her life of personal sacrifice and service, together with her spirit of hospitality, made her loved by all who came into the home.
