Obituary - no name or date of newspaper Amos Roop was born in Willshire, Ohio, December 15, 1849, and died in Hicksville, Ohio, July 17 1905; aged 62 years, 7 months and 2 days. Between these two dates a remarkable life was lived. Early in life he moved with his parents to Iowa, wehre he helped clear up a large farm. He remained there until he enlisted in service for his country in 1861. He continued in the service for four years, two months and ten days, being corporal at the time of his discharge. He was a brave and faithful soldier and no one ever served his country more devotedly. The exposures and hardships of army life brought on the deseases that finally took him out of the world. Soon after he came out of the service he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah J. Diehl, of Edgerton, Ohio, June 10, 1868. To this happy union were born five sons and four daughters. Of these, three sons and one daughter still survive. Soon after his marriage he and his wife moved to Edgerton, Ohio, where he was engaged in business for five or six years. They then moved to Pulaski, Ohio, and about twenty years ago moved to Hicksville. During the most of this time he has been in the emply of the Kerr Bros. Manufacturing company. When about sixteen years old Bro. Roop gave his heart to God and was grandly converted. During his service in the army he carried a Bible, which he read and lived by. He had many afflictions and trials, but by prayer and faith triumphed in them all. He has left behind him the legacy of a righteous life. For years he was a faithful member of the M. E. church, and his testimonies and prayers will live in the memories of the people for years to come. He was a true husband, faithful and kind. His children can rise up to call him blessed, for he was a devoted and Godly father. He was also a tur and loyal citizen and a safe and trusty workman. His sickness was long and severe, but he bore it patiently. Among his last words were "Jesus is in my heart." His bereaved wife and family have the sympathy of a host of friends. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. W. Stanton, of Napoleon, his former pastor, Wednesday afternoon, and the remains were intered in Forest Home. CARD OF THANKS - We desire to express our sincere thanks to our kind friends for their assistance and sympathy, and for the many beautiful floral offerings in paying the last tribute of respect to our beloved husband and father. - Mrs. Amos Roop and family
