The Belding Banner, Thursday, August 29, 1901

Again has the lesson been taught us that life is uncertain and man knoweth not 
what day or what hour he may be called to that bourne from whence no traveler 
returns.  Mr. George S. Rosevelt was doing a job of repairing upon the tenant 
house owned by E. E. Chapple on Pearl St. Monday when he was stricken with 
paralysis and was removed to his home on Front St.  Instead of improving under 
the efforts made in his behalf he seemed to grow worse steadily and along 
about one o’clock that night lapsed into an unconscious state from which he 
never recovered, but lingered until about one o’clock Wednesday afternoon when 
he breathed his last. 

He leaves a wife, two daughters and a son, all of whom were present, Mrs. 
(illegible) arriving from Canada just a few hours before his death.  The 
funeral will be held from the home Friday at 2 o’clock, Rev. O. A. Carman 
officiating and will be under Masonic auspices of which society he was a 
member.

Mr. Rosevelt has been a resident of Belding some sixteen or seventeen years 
and has been quite an active participant in all public affairs.  He was 
admitted to the bar in Greenville years ago and has practiced law most of the 
time since residing here.  He was elected justice of the peace in Otisco 
before the city was incorporated, holding the office at that time.  He was 
chosen city attorney several terms, and we doubt if there was a man in the 
city better acquainted with the provisions of the charter or the city affairs 
in general than Mr. Rosevelt.  He has built and owned several houses since 
coming here, having been in his younger days a carpenter.  He also worked in 
saw mills, learned the drug business, and resided in quite a number of places, 
having had many and varied experiences.  

He was loved and respected best by those who knew him best.  He was a good 
friend and neighbor and will be greatly missed by those with whom he came into 
daily contact.  His health has not been the best for years and he has 
gradually failed in strength until the final stroke came.  He was 57 years of 
age.
