Rosanna, youngest child of John W. and Hannah Rupe Owings, was born near Mt. Sterling, Oct. 17,1878, and passed away Sep. 18,1931, lacking one month and one day of her 53rd birthday. Following the death of her mother, which occured when she was a small child, she was her father's companion and keeper of the home at Bentonsport, where she attended worship and Sunday School until her marriage to Fred Winkler, on Feb. 19th,1902. In Harrisburg township they built a new home, a sanctuary for the little family; here the only son Granville, was born on Thanksgiving day in 1912 and here in the early morning hours the spirit of the wife and mother returned to the God who gave it. Those who mourn with the devoted husband and son are a sister, Mrs. Belle Hill of Bentonsport and a number of nieces and nephews. The other members of her family, father, mother, brother Edward, and sister Julia have preceded her.
