Rockwell, daughter of Almarin and Martha Rockwell. She was born in Pierpont, Ohio. She was twenty seven years of age the 27th of last November. Her father and two of his children preceded her to the other world. Her mother and a brother are left to mourn the loss. Stella was frail in body, yet she tenderly cared for her mother who was suffering from shocks of paralysis. Under the labors of Rev. C.W. Foulk, she made a profession of the Christian religion and joined the M.E. church in which she remained steadfast to the end. She, when she could, worked in the Sabbath school and was found at the prayer meeting. She will be missed, but she has left and passed on before. Her funeral sermon was preached Sunday morning at her home by the Rev. H.M. Chamberlain. Test: first John, fifth chapter and nineteenth verse. A large number of the friends and citizens were present to pay their tribute of respect. May God bless the mother in her failty and sustain the brother in his loss.
