From the Tin Miner, Hills City, South Dakota, Aug. 26, 1892:
Our people were surprised and saddened on hearing of the death of Mrs. M. D. Rossiter of peritonitis at a few minutes before five o'clock on Wednesday. She had been sick only a very few days. Few of her friends knew of her illness as until a day before her death her illness was not considered alarming, but during the last day some of her friends were constantly with her.
At the time of her death her husband, her sister, Miss Jessie Millisack, and Mrs. J. M. Baldwin were with her, her father and friends were called but she was gone before they arrived. She was unconscious for several hours but just before death came she revived sufficiently to recognize her husband.
Bessie Cora Millisack was the daughter of Edward S. and Mollie Millisack. She was born in Albia, Iowa, on the first day of June, 1873. 19 years, 2 months and 24 days covered the short span of her life. She had lived in Hill City nearly two years and was universally popular among all her acquaintances.
Just two months ago she was married to Michael D. Rossiter, a marriage which gave every promise of a long and happy life. Happily mated, crowned with the best wishes of many friends, in the full glow of youth and bright hopes for the future, she has been suddenly snatched from among the living and will be known among us no more. Surely the ways of Providence are inscrutable and past finding out.
Her funeral services will be held in the Presbyterian church at two o'clock this afternoon, conducted by Rev. G. G. Ware, Rural Dean of the Episcopal church of the Black Hills, who six months ago confirmed and baptized; two months ago married; and today performs the last sad rites of the church over her remains.
The remains will be taken on today's train to Chariton, Iowa, for interment, accompanied by Mr. Rossiter, Miss Jessie Millisack, Ed. S. Millisack and J. M. Baldwin.
*********
Seldom does an event take place that causes more genuine sympathy and sorrow than did the passing away of this noble young woman. From the time the sad intelligence of her death was received in Chariton last Thursday morning the veil of sorrow mantled the face of every acquaintance of the deceased.
The remains arrived Sunday morning, Aug. 28th and were conveyed to the home of Mrs. G. J. Stewart, aunt of the deceased, whither the funeral was conducted at 2 p.m. by Rector Whitten of the Episcopal church, assisted by Rev. Russell, and as the beautiful sun poured forth it's brilliant rays, as if to cheer the saddened hearts, all that was mortal of her, for whom we mourn, was borne to the Chariton cemetery and tenderly laid in the tomb, and her memory forms another cord to draw us to the higher home beyond.
