Postville Review, Sat., 20 June 1891.

Miss Rosa Keiser was born in Allamakee Co., Iowa, June 12th, 1870, and died at Monona, Iowa, June 13th, 1891, at the age of 21 years and one day.

The most of her life was spent at the place of her nativity, near Bethel church. About 4 years ago her health began to fail, for the recovery of which she spent some time visiting in the area of Spirit Lake. She passed last summer with relatives in Neb., returning much improved in health. Dec. last she went to Washington and after remaining there a little over five months she had become so weak and had failed so rapidly that it was necessary for her father to make the journey to the far west to accompany her home.

She was at home but one short month before she died. In this time she suffered terribly , but her sufferings were borne with the utmost patience. She left behind her, for her father, sister and friends the heritage of a wonderfully kind and gentle disposition and the evidence that all is well. Why her earthly career was so brief is known only to "Him, who doeth all things well."
