  Obituary- Weseloh, John Obituary John Weseloh was born April 1, 1849 in Germany. He came with his parents to American in 1866 and settled at Sedalia, Mo. In 1869 he came to Rossville and has made this town and vicinity his home ever since. In 1871 he was married to Margaret Simon and to this union three children were born. Emma, the oldest child, died in December, 1879, and his wife died a year later, January, 1880. In July, 1881 he married Ann Bush, who with the two children, John and Anna, survive to mourn his loss. Mr. Weseloh had been ill and almost an invalid for the past two years. His strong will-power and vigorous constitution battled bravely with the encroachment of disease and he lingered long after physicians and friends had given up all hope. But in the evening of Thursday, March 10 he gave up the unequal struggle and quietly passed into the realms of the unseen world. The funeral services were held Saturday afternoon from the M.E. Church, the Rev. E.W. Allen, his former pastor officiating. The church was filled with sympathizing friends and neighbors who came to pay a last tribute of respect to a worthy and upright citizen. The Knights and Ladies of Security lodge, of which he was a member, attended in a body. Many beautiful floral offerings were banked upon the casket. Mr. Weseloh was a member of the M.E. Church and lived a faithful, devout christian life and the church and community loses an active and valuable member in his death. The interment took place in the City cemetery.
