Obituary of Matilda (Trottier) Roux in Wednesday, September 16, 1925 Rice 
Lake Chronotype (Rice Lake, Barron County, WI)

Mrs. Philip Roux

 Mrs. Philip Roux passed away Sunday morning, Sept. 13, after a long 
illness with dropsy, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Turcotte, in 
this city. She suffered a stroke about four weeks ago and since then had 
failed rapidly.

 Matilda Trottier was born in St. Pierre, province of Quebec Canada, on 
Dec. 4, 1844, and was married there to Philip Roux on Oct. 2, 1866. They 
moved to this locality forty-two years ago, settling on a farm east of 
the city, now owned by Dr. T.A. Charron. They lived on the place about 
twenty-two years until the death of her husband twenty years ago. After 
his death Mrs. Roux moved into the city.

 Twelve children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Roux, eight of whom survive, as 
follows: Peter Roux, Mrs. Fred Amans and Mrs. Wm. Turcotte of this city; 
Henry Roux of Minneapolis; Homer Roux of western Canada; Mrs. Josephine 
Secore of this city; Joseph Roux of Marshfield, Ore., and Mrs. Amanda Dupois 
of Montreal, Canada. She is also survived by thirty grandchildren; also a 
brother in Canada.

 Funeral services were held at St. Joseph's church at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Rev. 
A.J. Van Helden officiating, and she was laid at rest by the side of her 
husband in St. Joseph's cemetery.
