THE WORD AND WAY January 7, 1904

          COLORADO
            _____
           OBITUARY

Rev. F. L. Rozelle, pastor at Loveland, Col., died very suddenly of
neuralgia of the heart Friday, December 25, 1903.
   He was born November 21, 1860 at Mount Pleasant, Ia.; ordained
as a Baptist minister May 23, 1894, at Oskaloosa, Ia.
   For a number of years he engaged in evangelistic work in Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas and other states. He was appointed district
missionary for Nebraska in May, 1896, but was soon after called
as pastor at Carroll, Ia., where he settled in May 1897. He was
appointed district missionary for Colorado October 1, 1898, but
was soon obliged to give up the position on account of the health
of his family, and removed to Chadron, Neb., the following March,
where he became pastor. January 1, 1899, he was appointed
missionary evangelist for the Trans-Mississippi division and
rendered very valuable services in Wyoming, Montana, Utah and
Colorado. April 1, 1901, he became pastor at Loveland, Col.
   In every pastorate he has held he has done most excellent
work, and thousands of persons have been led to Christ through
his influence. He was a splendid personal worker, and had a
peculiar faculty for reaching men. The splendid new house of
worship at Loveland is a monument to his energy and consecration.
   The funeral was the most largely attended of any similar
occasion the writer has ever witnessed; and the expressions of
love for our brother and sympathy for the bereaved family were
heard on every side. His influence extended far beyond his own
church and city. The men of Fort Collins chartered a train to
come to the funeral, which was held at 3 o'clock Sunday after-
noon, December 22. Probably one thousand people were in the
church, and crowds which could not get in extended clear across
the street.
    He leaves a wife and four children, two of whom--the oldest
daughters--are married. Mrs. Rozelle and the two younger children
will make their home in Loveland. Mr. Rozelle was one of the 
most efficient men in some directions that I have ever known.
