LIGHTBODY, ROSETTA—Rosetta Archer, daughter of Elijah and Martha Archer, was born in the Chelsea community, Fillmore county, Nebraska, July 13, 1877. She passed away at her home in Geneva, Neb., October 13, 1947, at the age of 70 years and 3 months. July 13, 1896, she was united in marriage to I.I. Lightbody, and they established their home in Fillmore county, where they lived most of their married life. For a period of two years they resided in Thayer county, but they again returned to the farm five miles west of Geneva, where they resided until 1930. Then they moved to Geneva, where they have since remained. July 13, 1946 Mr. and Mrs. Lightbody observed their fiftieth wedding anniversary and though Mrs. Lightbody's health had been very poor for more than a year, yet she anticipated this even and shared in it most happily. Earlier in life Mrs. Lightbody accepted the Christian faith and united with the Methodist church. During her prolonged illness this faith burned anew, and her constant testimony was that the e prayers of friends and spiritual counselors were the power by which she lived from day to day. She was a most patient and hopeful sufferer and to visit her bedside was to go away strengthened. She was preceded in death by her father, mother, and two sisters. Those remaining who were close to her and will feel most deeply the absence of their loved one are her husband, one sister, Mrs. Annis Anderson of Geneva, two brothers, Frank Archer of Geneva and John Archer of Cairo, Neb., several nieces and nephews, one being Mrs. Will Stoldorf, who so graciously shared in caring for her in recent months, other relatives and a large circle of friends. "How beautiful to be with God, When earth is fading like a dream, And from this mist-encircled shore We launch upon the unknown stream. No doubt, no fear, no anxious care, But comforted by staff and rod, In the faith-brightened hour of death How beautiful to be with God. Then let it fade, this dream of earth, When I have done my life work her, Or long, or short, what seemeth best— What matters so God's Will appear. I will not fear to launch my ark Upon the darkly rolling flood. Tis but to pierce the mist—and then How beautiful to be with God." Wayside Altar. The funeral service was held from the Methodist church Thursday, October 16, at 2 p. m. and was in the charge of Rev. Maude V. Mann. Mrs. Rosenau and Miss Mann sang the hymns with Miss Florence Humphrey at the organ. The pallbearers were Ed McCluskey, Frank Friesen, Tom Ewalt, William Lauenstein, James J. Murray and J. R. Buchanan. Interment was made in the Geneva cemetery. The Nebraska Signal 1947....contributed by Find A Grave contributor M. Jensen Seggerman, 5/6/2014.
