ROSANNAH MUSHRUSH
While the woods still were with sheltering Indians, Rosannah Mushrush was teaching at Evansburg (now Conneaut Lake). Her state of mind when she gave birth to twins without benefit of clergy is evidenced by the names she gave her daughters - Desolate and Lonely. The twins, who later became teachers at East Fallowfield, are buried in Watson Run Cemetery.

An interesting bit of family history may be told in connection with the mothers peculiar name. The grandmother, Rosa Mushrush, came with her brother Michael from Germany, and settled near Meadville, where each secured seven hundred acres of land. Here she married, soon after which her husband, Mr. Quigley, disappeared. During this period in her grief she so frequently exclaimed, "I am so lonely and desolate!" and when twins were born, she named them Mary Lonely and Nancy Desolate. When of school age she took them on horseback through the trackless wilderness a hundred miles, to Pittsburg, while she and their Uncle Michael walked, and left them at a convent until they were fifteen years of age, not seeing them during these years, on their return home, Desolate taught school eleven years, until her marriage at the age of twenty-six, on her birthday, April 1. She died in April, 1890, at the age of eighty-five.
