From The Ingham County Democrat Thursday 27 Apr 1905 This obit refers not to Elizabeth Shoop, John Rohrbacker's wife, but to their daughter

Elizabeth Rohrabacher was born in Erie county, Ohio, Nov. 11, 1850, from there she with her family moved to DeKalb county, Indiana [the census places them in Allen county in 1870], where she was united in marriage to Frank Keesler on Nov. 22, 1868. In 1872 they moved to Michigan, settling in East Alaiedon about a mile from the present home, living there until two ears ago, when they moved to the home where she died April 18, 1905, aged 54 years, seven months, and six days.

Eight children came to gladden the home, six of whom are living and were present to offer a tribute of affection to a faithful mother.

Several years ago Mrs. Keesler gave her heart to the Savior, uniting with the M.P. church of East Alaiedon. To her family she was a loving and faithful wife and mother, showing by her constant care and labor her desire for their happiness and welfare.

During her final illness she was a great sufferer but her Savior's name was constantly upon her lips, thus showing His abiding presence with her, upholding her in her hours of trial, and her parting words to her loved ones were to meet her at the Savior's feet.

Besides her sorrowing husband and children she leaves five sisters, three brothers and many friends and relatives to mourn her death, but not as they who have no hope for they have the assurance that they may meet her where pain and sorrow cannot come.

Funeral services, conducted by Rev. White of Mason, were held at the home, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Leek cemetery.
