Obituary Sketch Of John Roost

John Roost, of Delhi Mills, Mich., was laid at rest June 3, 1903, in the family lot in the German cemetery on Jackson avenue. Mr. Roost was one of a large family of brothers and sisters, and in 1866 he, alone, came to this country where he settled in Delhi.

For some time he worked on the Boyden farm, then later in the flouring mill at Delhi. By his industry and frugality he accumulated a comfortable home consisting of a farm and a dwelling. He was a kind father, a good neighbor, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. For some time past Mr. Roost had been a patient sufferer until death relieved him.

The funeral services were held from his late home. Rev. W. F. Morrison, of Webster, preached a very thoughtful and impressive sermon. A large number of friends assembled to pay their last respects to one of their honored citizens. Very appropriate music was rendered by Misses Georgia and Florence Lomas and Messrs. Almendinger and Morrison.
