Elizabeth, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Schlegal Ropp, was born near Pekin, Illinois on October 4, 1859. She passed away quietly in the presence of her devoted family on November 19, 1940 at the age of 81 y. 1 m.15 d.
She was the last one of her family, 6 brothers and 4 sisters having preceded her in death. On March 2, 1897 she was married to Joseph P. Roth, of Morton, Illinois. They engaged in farming two miles west of Morton for twenty-three years. They then moved to Morton, Illinois in the spring of 1920.
At the age of sixteen years she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour, and was a member of the Pleasant Grove Mennonite Church. She had been in ill health for fourteen years. During her suffering she was calm, and carried her burden well, her faith being secure in Lord Jesus.
Besides her husband, the following also remain to mourn her departure: 1 daughter (Mina E.), 3 dons (Edwin J., Austin D., and Wilbur J.), and 9 grandchildren, all of Morton.
Funeral services were held at the Community Church in Morton on Friday afternoon, November 22, in charge of Bros. Leland Bachman, Carl Vissering, and Sam Ummel. Burial at the Pleasant Grove Cemetery.
"One by one the chairs stand vacant,
That were filled by those we love;
One by one the seats are filling
In our Father's Home above.
