George Rosbeck is my husband's Great-Great Grandfather. This obituary was sent to me by a distant cousin of my husband's, Dennis Wondra. It's great when you find family members that want to collaborate, and sharing copies of the originals is extra awesome!
Thanks, Dennis!

Fabulous photograph! You could write books about those eyes and what they've seen.
ReplyDeleteI used to find the picture a bit scary (you know...first impressions), but his eyes are so kind! I'm delighted that my husband's family had this wonderful photograph to share!
