  • Obituary: Clarion Republican - January 6,1899 On Saturday last, December 31st, 1898, just as the old year was disappearing into the past, the spirit of Amanda J. Rulofson, wife of R. Rulofson, of Strattanville, this county, took its flight into the great future. Mrs. Rulofson was honored and respected by all who knew her, a noble Christian woman. She was a friend to those in distress, ever ready to lend a helping hand in sickness and sorrow or to smooth the dying pillow. As a wife and mother she was always on the lookout for the care and comfort of her husband and children. In her last days there was no pain, no suffering; her work was done, and she peacefully awaited the call of the Master. Mrs. Rulofson was born at St. Stephens, New Brunswick, August II, 1827, and was the daughter of William and Jane Emerson, and was married to Rulof Rulofson, February 25th, 1844,-- almost fifty-five years of married life. To them have been born eight children, five of whom are still living, and who with the grief stricken husband were present at the bedside of the dying wife and mother as the soul went out to the God who gave it. The children are, Priscilla J., wife of S. R. Strattan, of Washington, D.C.; Jeannette A., wife of G.W. McCaslin, of New York City, and Elizabeth B., wife of D.M. Clover, Merta H., wife of T. H. Hoover, and Wm. K. Rulofson, all of Strattanville, Pa. She was for forty years an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Truly a mother in Israel hath left us. Appropriate funeral services with Rev. B.F. Delo in charge, were conducted on last Tuesday as the remains were laid away in their last resting place, Rev. Delo being assisted by Revs. C.H. and F.H. Frampton.
