Sunday's Obituary - Roseanne Creeden

I posted earlier about an obit card from the Mercer County, Ohio library for Roseanne Creeden and decided to follow up and see if they had the actual obituary. I was surprised to find that there was an article in the newspaper since Roseanne's guardian Timothy Creeden died in 1899 and her parents were listed as unknown on her death certificate. I knew from the 1900-1920 census records that Roseanne had been confined to the county infirmary for a number of years. She died on June 30, 1922. While the obituary states that she was a lifelong resident of Celina, I know from other records that she was born in Clinton County, Ohio to parents Patrick Creedan and Hannah Hoover.
