The Tyrone Herald 5/20/1915
Samuel H. Roseberry, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of 
Sinking Valley, died at his home near Arch Spring at 12:10 o’clock Thursday 
morning.  Mr. Roseberry was born at Seven Stars, Huntingdon county, on March 
16, 1843.  He resided for a time at Water Street, but since 1858 had lived on 
the mountainside farm where death found him.  By occupation he was a mail 
carrier with a record to be proud of.  In thirty years he missed but one of his 
five-mile jogs from Arch Spring to Union Furnace and return.  The one occasion 
on which he stayed at home was when the roads were impassible from a blizzard.
Mr. Roseberry is survived by his wife who, at this writing, is lying seriously 
ill with pneumonia.  At home with his mother is one son, Edgar, who during the 
last year has taken up his father’s task of mail carrying.  The only daughter, 
Miss Myrtle, is a stenographer in Clearfield.  Mr. Roseberry is also survived 
by two brothers and one sister: Robert Roseberry, of Sinking Valley; John 
Roseberry, of Clearfield, and Mrs. Margaret Dickson, of Sinking Valley.
The immediate cause of death was heart failure brought on by Rheumatic 
trouble.  His illness dates back eighteen months or more.
Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church at Arch Spring at 3 
o’clock Saturday afternoon.  Interment took place in the cemetery adjoining the 
church.  Both Mr. Roseberry and his wife have been lifelong members of the 
Presbyterian church, always faithful in attendance and appreciative of the joys 
of service and fellowship.
