RACHEL TOOKER and ROBERT CARROTHERS - OBITUARY
Rachel Carrothers
Tiffin News.
At her late home in New Washington, Friday morning, July 16, 1897, of
paralysis, Mrs. Rachel Carrothers, aged 68 years, 9 months and 28 days. The
subject of this sketch was born in Richland county, Ohio, September 18,
1828.
The deceased whose maiden name was Tooker, entered the holy state of
matrimony with Robert Carrothers and to this union was born two children,
one son and one daughter, the son having died nearly thirty-seven years ago.
After Mr. and Mrs. Carrothers were married they located on a farm in the
southeastern part of Seneca county, where they lived happy together until
the husband was called to his reward November 8, 1894. Mrs. Carrothers
remained on the old homestead until last fall when she moved to New
Washington. She leaves to mourn her departure one daughter, Mrs. John
Weaver, who now resides on the old homestead, and many other friends.
Funeral services were held Sunday forenoon, July 18, in the Swamp church,
conducted by Rev. Summer, of Attica. A large concourse of people were
present at the obsequies and the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery
adjoining the church.
DEATH OF ROBERT CARROTHERS.
The deceased was born August 11, 1830; died November 8, 1894 aged 64 yrs., 2
mos., 27 das. He was a native of Pennsylvania and at the age of seven years
came to Ohio and located in Seneca county, of which he has been a resident
until his death. On October 12, 1854, he was united in marriage with Rachel
Tooker, with whom he has sailed through life's tempestuous sea for nearly 40
years, and who now suffers the unspeakable loss of a kind and affectionate
husband. In his boyhood he connected himself with the U. B. church, of which
he was a consistent member at the time of his death. He died as he had
lived--a true christian. Truly it may be said of him "well done, thou good
and faithful servant, enter thou into the Joys of thy Lord. His sufferings,
which were of a few years' duration, were very severe but through it all his
trust was in Him who doeth all things well. He leaves his wife, one daughter
and her husband and four grandchildren to mourn his departure; one child and
one grandchild having preceded him to the spirit world, The funeral services
were held from Swamp church north of this place last Sunday in the presence
of a large concourse of people who paid a parting tribute to the remains of
one who in life was a good citizen, a kind husband and father and a devout
christian. The funeral services were conducted by Rev H. L. Snyder.
