  Mrs. Lulu (Himes) Rosensteel, widow of J. Harry Rosensteel, member of one of 
Mount Union's oldest families, passed away in the Lewistown hospital early 
this Monday morning, November 13, 1939, at 1:45 o'clock.  She had been in 
failing health for the past year, and had been a patient in the hospital for 
the past eighteen days, where she underwent a serious surgical operation.  
Friends believed she was improving, and when the news of her death came it was 
a distinct shock.
  Mrs. Rosensteel was a daughter of John and Margaret (Lewis) Himes, both 
deceased, and she was born at Otelia, near Mount Union, October 9, 1877, hence 
she was aged at the time of death 62 years, 1 month and 4 days.
  She was educated in the Mount Union public schools, and graduated in one of 
the first classes from the Mount Union High School. She was a member of the 
First Methodist church of Mount Union and was active in church affairs.  She 
was affiliated with the Ladies Aid Society, the Women's Missionary Society and 
the Women's Bible Class.
  In 1894 she was united in marriage to J. Harry Rosensteel, who preceded her 
in death July 15, 1931.
  Surviving are three children: Miss Emma Rosensteel at home; Fred A. 
Rosensteel and Jack H. Rosensteel, both of Mount Union. Also, surviving are 
two grandchildren, Barbara Ann and Randall Rosensteel and the following 
sisters: Miss Dolly Himes, Mrs. Minnie Longacre, and Mrs. Laura J. Rorer, all 
of Mount Union; Mrs. Chloy Moore, of Huntingdon, and Mrs. Catherine Gifford, 
of El Paso, Texas.

will be held at the home, West Market street, Mount Union, at 11 o'clock.  The 
body will then be taken to the First Methodist church, where further services 
will be held at 2 o'clock, conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. W. Willard.
