Read More	John Martindale Roe, the third child in the family of Eli and Margaret Roe, was born in Henry county, Ind., Sept 6, 1924. At the age of six years he accompanied his parents to St. Joseph county, Ind. His father settled on Government Land on the east side of Portage prairie about four miles south of South Bend. Here his studies were prosecuted in a private school and afterwards carried on for three months each year in the District School. His time was mainly occupied in assisting his father in cultivating and improving the home farm. At the age of twenty, he taught a district school near his home thus securing money sufficient to pay his board and tuition for one term at the South Bend Academy. He afterward commenced his medical education, Dr. Daniel Dayton of South Bend as his preceptor. Here he pursued the study of medicine for almost two years and then attended a course of medical lectures at LaPorte, Indiana. He commenced the practice of medicine at Goshen, Indiana where he remained for two years. In 1851 he came to Buchanan where he lived continuously till his death occurred may 15, 1899 being 74 years, 8 months, and 9 days old. As a physician he was a successful practitioner for nearly 50 years. Perhaps not more than half a dozen people now live in Buchanan who were residents here when Dr. Roe came to this place in 1951. In 1948 he was married to Miss Philenia Chipman, a native of Ohio and a daughter of Mr. Holton Chipman. They became the parents of four children, one of them whom died in infancy, Mrs. Lennie Lough., wife of Henry Lough late of Buchanan, died in Florida at the age of twenty-seven. Alison C. Roe and Lillie E. Clarke, both of Buchanan are left with their mother, to mourn the departure of a husband and father. Three brothers and two sisters are still among the living. Deeply impressed in childhood with the glorious principles of the religion of Jesus as taught and practiced by a noble Christian mother, the doctor publicly pledged fidelity to the loving Savior when probably about 17 years of age. His early vow of allegiance to the Son of God was sacredly kept by him till death. After his removal to Buchanan, he persuaded his brother, William, to locate here for the purpose of introducing the cause of primitive Christianity in this place. The Christian Church in Buchanan, organized Dec. 17, 1854, had him as one of its 18 charter members and for 45 years he stood by the church faithfully being one of its principal supporters. His final illness found him ready to depart and be with Christ, leaning upon the precious promises of the blessed Savior and fully resigned to the providence of God. Released from all earth's cares and woes, In Jesus is the sweet repose, But he again in life shall bloom, and we shall meet beyond the tomb. The funeral services were held this morning at ten o'clock from his late residence, the large attendence crowding the capacity of the house to its fullest extent. Rev. E. R. Black conducted the services assisted by Rev. J. F. Barmess. Both clergymen paid a touching tribute to the deceased and beautiful music was rendered by Mrs. Parroit and Miss Bronson. The interment was made at the Oak Ridge cemetery. Transcribed by Charlotte Stevens Schneider 2nd Great Grandniece of Dr. Roe's wife, Philenia Rosalie Chipman Roe.
