In Death-A Long, Useful and Eventful Life Ended-Four Score Years and Five.
Rosena Dieffenbacher was born January 12, 1816. her age at death was 85 years, 1 month and 29 days. The subject of this sketch was born in Eppingen, Germany, Grand Duchy of Baden. Her maiden name was Rosena Rosenagle.
When twenty years of age she was united in marriage to Jacob Dieffenbacher. Her venerable and aged companion preceded her in death by about nine years, at the age of 84 years. To this union were born seven children-Three sons and four daughter:; Katie, who died in infancy; Jacob, died in 1869; George, died in 1899; Katharine, now Mrs. John Snavely; Henry, who resides in Bucyrus; Elizabeth, now Mrs. John Metzger, and Caroline, who died on the voyage to this country and was buried beneath the restless waves of the old ocean.
The children were all born in Germany and came to this country in 1854 and began life's journey at Strausburg, Ohio, where they remained until 1863, when they removed to Crawford county, locating on a farm in Holmes township.
There they lived until the death of the husband and father. After this time grandmother, as she was commonly called, lived with her daughter, Mrs. John Snavely, who, with the assistance of her husband and children, watched over her in her declining years, and smoothed out her pathway in her old age.
She went at times to stay a few days with the other children who always did all in their power to make her burden light, and cheer her along in her declining years. She had been sick but a short time, and it is believed that the infirmities of old age and a slight attack of grip were the immediate cause of death.
Mother Dieffenbacher was a kind, affable and benevolent old lady, generous to a fault. She was long a member of the church, which when able she always loved to attend. She loved all her family and family relatives, of whom there are quite a number, to the third generation.
The funeral took place from the residence of John Snavely Wednesday at 10 a.m. services conducted by the Rev. J. E. Barns of Bethel U. B. church; interment in the cemetery near by.
Mother will be missed in more ways than one by all, but let us remember that her body rests without pain beneath the low green tent.
