The latter is as follows: "Died — Rosenkrans. In Newton township, Luzerne (now Lackawanna) County, Pennsylvania, March 10, 1873, Louis H. Rosenkrans, in the 46th year of his age. A loving husband and kind father; an exemplar in all that is good and true and beautiful in mind and heart and life, has fallen asleep in Jesus. Mr. Rosenkrans was a man of rare natural gifts, force of character and firmness in the right, and yet so affable, unselfish and loving in disposition, and so discreet in word and deed as to be universally esteemed by all who knew him. In his early years he gave his heart to the Saviour and united with the Newton Baptist Church. Through all the years of his subsequent life he was a most faithful and intelligent Christian. Religion was to him a perfect well spring of joy, drowning all trouble and discontent and rendering pure and bright and fragrant the influence of his daily walk and conversation. Four children are left to the bereaved widow. May God who alone is able, comfort and sustain them in this severe and irreparable, loss." His children are: James Morris, Georgianna May, J. Hice and Even Benjamin.
| "Brother rest from sin and sorrow, Death is o’er and life is won; On thy slumber dawns no morrow, Rest; thine earthly race is won |
||
| Brother, wake the night is waning, Endless day is round thee pour’d! Enter thou the rest remaining For the people of the Lord. |
||
| Brother, wake for he who loved thee, He who died that thou might’st live He who through grace, approved thee, Waits thy crown of joy to give. |
||
| Fare thee well, though woe is blending, With the tones of earthly love, Triumph high and joy unending, Wait thee in the realms above." |
