Burr Oak Herald (Kansas)
November 16, 1893
Roseanna Riner was born in Covington, Warren County, Indiana, February 7, 1834. Died in Burr Oak, Kansas, November 10, 1893, aged 59 years, 9 months and 3 days.
She moved with her parents to Iroquois County, Illinois in 1850. She was married to C S Pangborn August 19, 1852. In the autumn of this year, she was converted, and united with the M E church, remaining a faithful member of the same until death. In March 1882 she came with her family to Burr Oak, Kansas where she has lived until the present time.
She was the mother of seven children, six of whom survive her. Frank E Pangborn, of Malden, Illinois; Mrs Fred Norton, of Grant's Pass, Oregon; Mrs W E Noyes, Mrs W M Heaston, Melvin Pangborn and Quincy Pangborn, of Burr Oak, Kansas. Her son Jesse died in March 1872. Her husband, one brother and one sister, Mr Wm Riner and Mr. Hannah Drake are still living, and they with a large circle of other relatives and friends, sincerely mourn her death.
Though severely afflicted, she was always patient and cheerful and seemed never so happy as when her family and friends were gathered around her fireside. She was usually unable to attend the services of the church, but her well-worn bible was her constant companion and her faith in its promise was steadfast and comforting.
The funeral services were beautiful and impressive. The sermon was preached by Rev H B Breed, an old friend of the family.
A happy home has been broken up, and the sympathy of the entire community goes out to the children and to the husband who has so long, and so tenderly, cared for his companion in her helplessness.
