ROCHFORD Saturday morning, August 13, another early pioneer of Nebraska, Mrs. John Rochford, answered the summons of death and went to join her husband who nine weeks ago was laid to rest in Calvary cemetery at Fremont. The passing of this venerable woman who attained the age of eighty-two years, is deserving of more than ordinary comment. Having been united in marriage to John Rochford in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1865, they were imbued with the spirit of the times and came west, locating in Saunders county Nebraska, where they resided many years. During that period she endured all the privations and sufferings of the early settler, but at all times was able to help the needy or the distressed. Of a retiring disposition, gentle and quiet in her manner, she went about in her early years doing good where it was sorely needed and her gifts of charity were never made known. Possibly in her church, which she loved so well, were her best qualities made manifest in her faithful attendance to her religious duties. Her life was one of fervent piety. She prayed much, loved her own family and her neighbors with devoted and tender love, trusted in God and endeavored to follow her Savior. The great happiness of a good conscience was always hers. She had the esteem and good will of all who knew her and during her illness and in her dying hour she enjoyed the sympathy and assistance of her family and neighbors. Her journey to eternity was smoothed by all the means of grace afforded by the church whose holy rites she received in faith, hope and love while she was fully conscious that her end was near. Funeral services took place Monday morning from St. Charles Catholic church. Rev. Father Kerwin, a Redemptorist, officiated in the absence of Rev. Smiskol. He preached a most eloquent sermon on the example her life was to the parish and the good she had done here on earth. At the cemetery Rev. J. J. Sullivan of Fremont officiated, and her remains were interred beside those of her husband and children who had preceded her. Mrs. John Rochford was born in County Kilkenny, Ireland, May 15, 1847, and was married in Boston in 1865. She came with her family to Nebraska in 1873 and located in Saunders county, and in 1893 they moved to Dodge county where they have resided ever since. The surviving members of the family are Sister Mary Zita and Sister Mary Claretta of Sinsinawa, Wisconsin; B. W. Rochford of Omaha; E. J. Rochford of St. Paul, Nebraska; Mrs. P. J. Colgan of Ames; Margaret, Peter and John of North Bend; J. B. of Joel, Wisconsin. Two children, besides here husband, preceded her in death.
