Rushville (Illinois) Times December 29, 1887
Anderson Foster Roach was born in Wilson county, Tennessee, Sept. 18th, 
1819, and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church in the 19th yar of 
his age.  He was united in marriage with Miss Margaret Alexander, Nov. 6th, 
1838, with whom he lived happily for near half a century.  They removed to 
Illinois in 1848, living a number of years near Huntsville in Schuyler 
county.  In 1878 they removed to Sedgwick county, Kansas, and settled on a 
farm which he cultivated till about a year ago, when they removed to 
Wichita, where, on the 14th day of December, 1887, surrounded by his 
children and his dear old companion, and in the full possession of all his 
mental faculties and his triumphant faith, he gently passed away to meet 
that savior he had so loved and trusted.  Mr. Roach was only sick about 
three weeks, but his sufferings were very great, yet he bore all with 
christian patience.  During his sickness he made his will and arranged all 
his temporal affairs, and was fully conscious up to the last.  Thus passed 
away a good man, an affectionate husband, a kind father and a worthy 
citizen.  He was always ready to do his part in every good work in his 
neighborhood.  He leaves a widow, five sons and a daughter to mourn their 
loss.

Additional Comments:
He was the son of John Roach and Mary Kirkpatrick and is buried at Seltzer 
Cemetery in Wichita
