Obituary: Rock County, Wisconsin: Rozana BURNHAM ************************************************************************ Submitted by Kathy Grace, June 2004 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ Weekly Gazette and Free Press February 4, 1859 Died In this city, on Monday, January 31st, Mrs. Rozana Burnham, Wife of Rev. S.C. Burnham, aged 44 years, 9 months and 11 days. The disease of which she died was consumption, but through her sufferings were long and severe, she bore them with christian patience and resignation, and as the fatal hour approached, her confidence in God was greatly strengthened. She exhorted her friends and neighbors to meet her in heaven. She gained complete victory over the last enemy and calmly fell asleep in Jesus, with the full assurance of awakening to His likeness when the last trum shall sound to gather his ransomed ones from the four corners of the earth. She has left a deeply afflicted husband, weeping children and sympathizing friends and neighbors to mourn her their loss.
