She married William Sturgeon on Jan. 7, 1849 in Marshall County, IN. OBITUARY: "Rochester Sentinel" - Saturday, April 17, 1875 DIED. -Mrs. Melissa Sturgeon, wife of Wm. Sturgeon, deceased, died at her residence in this place on Saturday, April 10, 1875. Her funeral took place on Sunday last at 4 o'clock p.m. A memorial of her life and virtues are presented on the 8th page by a correspondent. Mrs. Melissa A. Sturgeon, widow of the late Wm. Sturgeon, and subject of this memorial, was born in Vigo Co., Ind., Feb. 18, 1828; moved with her parents to Marshall Co., Ind., about 1833, where she resided up to almost her 21st year, when she was married to Wm. Sturgeon, Jan. 7, 1843. She united with the Presbyterian church at Hopewell, under Rev. N. L.LORD, pastorate above twenty years ago. She moved to Rochester with her husband and family about twelve years ago, and soon after connected herself with our church here, where she has served her Savior faithfully up to the day of her death. The last three or four years of her life she has been afflicted with that most insiduous and flattering of all disease-consumption. All that human aid or medical skill could do was done to arrest its course, but all to little or no purpose. The grim monster of the grave had laid his bony hand upon her and marked her delicate frame as his. Gradually she yielded up her strength, when finally, on April 10th, about 11 oclock a.m., she surrendered willingly her pure spirit to God, who gave it, having lived 47 years, 1 month and 22 days. She was the mother of seven children, three of whom anticipated her to the better land, her father, Wm. Stark, deceased about four years ago, her husband only two and a half months ago. Four children, three sisters, one brother and her mother survive her to mourn their loss...
