Surnames: Rowland Roher Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/RRB.2ACE/6166 Message Board Post: Mrs. Isa Mae Rowland Roher, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James E. Rowland of Ashford, was born in August 9th, 1888, and died September 8th, 1917. In June, 1914, she was married to William Roher, who survives her. She fitted herself for the teaching profession and taught several years in the rural schools of Cattaraugus county. She was endowed with those attributes which are requisite for successful teaching- impartial love, firmness and sympathy. Her pleasing personality and conscientous work have left their imprint on the minds of those pupils who were privileged to be instructed by her. Hers was a broad, liberal mind. She taught Sunday schools where she thought duty led her regardless of denomination. In her private and home life was was an exemplary daughter and wife. The beautiful floral offerings; the large concourse of people who attended her funeral gave evidence of the high esteem in which she was held. The husband and parents have the sympathy of the entire community. We cannot think of her as dead Who walks with us no more; Along the path of life we tread, She has but gone before. The Father's house is mansioned fair, Beyone our vision dim; All souls are Hisd and here or there And still their silent ministry Within our hearts have place, As when on earth they walked with us And met us face to face. Their lives are made forever ours, What they to us have been Hath left henceforth its seal and sign, Engraven deep within. Ours are they, by an ownership Nor time, nor death can free; For God hath given love to keep Its own eternally."
