Belding News, 19 Jull 1916

The death of Mrs. Delia Rosevelt took place at the city hospital last Friday 
night at eleven o’clock, after a long siege of sickness incident to old age, at 
the advanced age of sixty-nine years.  Mrs. Rosevelt was one of the old time 
residents of this city and until a few years ago had always enjoyed good 
health.  About a year ago her health failed so rapidly that it was thought best 
to remove her to the city hospital where she has since received the best of 
care and treatment.  Mrs. Rosevelt was of a genial, kindly, light hearted 
disposition and was greatly loved by a multitude of friends in every community 
where she was acquainted.

Funeral services were held in the Central Methodist church at 1 o’clock in the 
afternoon, Sunday, conducted by Rev. W. E. Doty, and burial was made in the old 
Belding cemetery by the side of her husband.

Delia A. Rosevelt was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.M. Gravelle, old 
pioneers, being one of a family of eight children.  She was born in Ontario 
county, N.Y., Aug. 16, 1847, coming to Michigan at the age of six.  The family 
located near Greenville, where, June 30, 1855, she was united in marriage to 
George S. Rosevelt whose death preceded hers by fifteen years.  The family came 
to Belding twenty-nine years ago.  Mr. Rosevelt served for years as city 
attorney.  She is survived by three children Jennie E. of St. Louis, Mo., 
Pearl, of Cedar Springs, Mich., and Claude of Chicago, Ill, two sisters, Mrs. 
Ella Crosby of Belding and Mrs. Mary Angevine of Richmond, Virginia, and two 
brothers, A. L. Gravelle of British Honduras, Central America, and J. F. 
Gravelle of Fargo, North Dakota.
