OBITUARY: Boonville, Indiana Enquirer - February 3, 1905:
The remains of the suddenly departed, Mrs. Rosina Gordner, were laid to rest in Maple Grove Sunday, Jan. 28th at 4 p.m. after an impressive funeral service in St. Charles Hotel, conducted in English and German by Rev. J.J. Meyer.
Rosina Gordner, nee Martel, was born on January 13th, 1838 in Rechtenbach, District of Bergzabern in the Palatinate, Southern Germany. Her parents were John Martel and Dorothy Martel nee Eberhard, who surely have done their duty as parents in teaching our sister early the fear of the Lord, in watching over her education, in directing her youthful mind to the Holy Scriptures and her feet to the sanctuary. On April 13th, 1851 she was confirmed and admitted to membership in the State Church, a church body corresponding in doctrine to the German Evangelical Synod of North America. In 1855, she came to this country and was married to Mr. Peter Gordner of Boonville, Ind. on September 1st, 1869. To this union were born 8 children, 5 of whom preceded their mother in death. In summer of 1893 she mourned the loss of her dearly beloved husband.
Up to the date of her departure she lived the life of the children of quietness, preparing for the great transition, which came so suddenly, but did not overtake her unawares. Just a few days ago she had remarked: "We must prepare for the emergency; I am ready at any moment." She spent the day before her death with her relatives in St. Charles Hotel seemingly in good spirits and in the evening retired apparently in ordinary good health. In the morning of January 27th she suffered from a severe attack of nausea; the physician, summoned to her bedside at once, could not however but realize that her end was approaching and gave advice that her children should be notified at once of her critical condition. She was not permitted to take leave from her beloved children; in the noon hour already she had breathed her last.
She leaves a son, Mr. Jacob Gordner of Paris, Ill., and two daughters, Mrs. Rosa Sophie Nettleton and Miss Emma Louise Gordner of Chicago, Ill., to mourn her loss. Also a brother, Mr. Jacob Martel, of Chandler, Ind., survives the deceased sister. The indirect cause of her death was Bright's disease. She reached an age of 67 years 14 days. St. John's church here looses in her one of its most faithful members.
