Carrothers was born in Richland county, Ohio March 22, 1823. Died in Defiance county Feb. 7, 1902, aged 78 years, 10 months and 15 days. She was of a family of 9 children, all of whom have preceded her beyond except one brother, who still resides in Richland county. She was married to SAMUEL K. BEATTIE in 1842. To this union were born 7 children, two of whom have passed on before her. She was one of the pioneers of Defiance county, having lived here about 53 years. At the age of 16 she united with the Presbyterian church. After coming to this county she united with the U.B. church of Williams Center, of which she remained a faithful member until the time of her death. She leaves 23 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. Funeral services in Union church by her pastor, Rev. Ballinger. Burial in Farmer cemetery. NUMBER TWO: ELIZABETH M. BEATTIE was born near Mansfield, Ohio, August 5, 1847, and died April 13, 1908, aged 60 years, 8 months and 8 days. With her parents she came to Defiance county, Ohio, when about two years old and lived in the vicinity of Farmer Center until her decease. She was united in marriage with C. M. Rogers, January 1, 1867. To them were born six children, one of whom preceded her to the better land, of which she so often spoke. At the age of 18 years she was converted and joined the M.E. church at Williams Center. Later she was identified with the German Reformed church and in 1887 a United Brethren society was organized in the vicinity of Dry Creek, of which she became a charter member, and remained an active and honored member until her death. Sister Rogers was one of the noble women of the community. No sacrifice was too great for her to make for others. A devoted wife, loving mother, kind and obliging as a neighbor. She was devotedly attached to the church of her choice and delighted in the services iof the sanctuary. It is not surprising that when the end came she passed peacefully into the beyond. She leaves husband, two daughters, three sons, sixteen grandchildren, one sister and three brothers with many other relatives and a host of friends who mourn her departure. Funeral services occurred last Thursday from the church at Farmer Center, conducted by her pastor, Rev. R.H. Turner, assisted by Elder J.W. Lilly. Submitted By: Steven J.
