Lucinda Rosan Christman  [The Monroe Gazette Woodsfield, Ohio, Thurs., Feb. 23, 1893]

    In Memory of the death of Miss Lucinda Rosan Christman.
    Jesus said unto them: “Give place for the maid is not dead but sleepeth.” Matthew II, 24. The Angel of death has again called away one of our beloved maidens Miss Lucinda Rosan Christman, daughter of Godfred and Catherine Bauman Christman, at the early age of 25 years, 10 months, and 11 days. She was born March 31, 1867, was taken in Covenant of God when an infant child, by baptism, and taken into the Church of Christ when a young lady of 14 years by Confirmation. The vow she made unto her savior on Confirmation Day she faithfully kept and led a Christian life until the day of her death.

      Somewhat more than a year ago she began to fail and ever since she has been wasting away until Sunday, February 12th, 1893 when her spirit departed this world and ascended to the Promised land of eternity. Tuesday the 14th her body was laid in the St. John’s Middle Church Cemetery to rest until the great resurrection day.
     One sister died in 1871, and a brother, Ludwig J. Christman, died February 18, 1889. She leaves a father, mother, six brothers, and one sister to mourn her departure. Death often comes unexpected and often we see it coming gradually. Often sickness precedes death and very often a broken heart precedes death. Death will come sooner or later for each and everyone. Although “Death is not swallowed up in victory”  there is no loss, but again for death calleth to rest. “Sleep on, beloved sleep and take thy rest, lay down thy head upon the Savior’s breast. We love thee well, but Jesus loves thee best.” Good night.
        Reverend J. R. Mueller of Miltonsburg conducted the funeral services.
