Blockton News, Thursday November 15, 1934 [p. 1] Obituary Laura Esther Rose, daughter of John and Anna Rose, was born March 7, 1868, in Swedona, Illinois, where she grew to womanhood. She passed away in the hospital in St. Joseph, Mo., November 6,1934, at the age of 66 years, 7 months and 29 days. She was united in marriage to Gust C. [arl] Stroburg March 7, 1888. To this union was born four sons and two daughters: [John] Clyde, who died in March, 1915; Clark, Lloyd and Glenn; Mrs. Florence Round and Mrs. Eunice McPherson. She also leaves two brothers and one sister, Theodore Rose, of Victor, Montana; Emil Rose of Swedona, Illinois, and Mrs. Emma Shank, of Superior, Nebraska; seventeen grandchildren; a number of other relatives and a host of friends. She united with the Lutheran church when 13 years of age, and later became a member of the Blockton Christian church when she moved to the present home. Mrs. Stroburg was one of those fine Christian women whose life was a benediction to all who came in contact with her. She was a faithful companion, kind loving mother and excellent neighbor. The family lived for a number of years near Sheridan, Mo., where they have many warm friends. The funeral services were held in the Blockton Christian church Friday afternoon, conducted by Challie E. Graham, after which the remains were laid to rest in Rose Hill cemetery, Blockton. The singing was furnished by Joseph Ledgerwood, Robert Ford, Mrs. Ula Amrine and Mrs. Warren Hubbard, with Mrs. Matie Miller at the piano. The songs were "The Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," "Nearer My God to Thee: and "In the Sweet By and By." The pallbearers were Tom Ford, Reed Jenkins, Lester round, Dewey Fidler, Myron King and George Reed.
