Sturgis, Rosanna Louisa [Oehme] - 1881

A Half Century.--
Mrs. Edward S. Sturgis was fifty years of age on Friday.  She was expecting a twin sister, Mrs. Henry F. Rauch, of Philadelphia, to spend the day with her, but sickness prevented.  Other friends remembered the anniversary, however, and about a hundred called during the day to tender congratulations, nearly all bearing useful presents.

Mrs. Sturgis was doubly surprised when a party of twelve relatives came from Lancaster well supplied with edibles and substantial souvenirs of the occasion. The day was one long to be remembered with pleasurable emotions as a communion of hearts bound by ties of friendship and of nature.
~ The Lititz Record, 04-Nov-1881, Page 3, Column 1
