Roehl Herbert CHURCH [2] |
- Roehl Herbert Church was born October 9, 1907, in Brownington to Jay and Lura (Cooper) Church. He had been in declining health for the past year, but enjoyed his 91st birthday on Friday, October 9. The following day he suffered a stroke and died peacefully one week later in his home, surrounded by his loved ones. Roehl's boyhood was spent in the Brownington area where he explored the river and the fields with his two brothers and three sisters. Many area baseball games found him behind the catcher's mask playing the game he loved, and a game he later enjoyed as a spectator when he could no longer participate.
In 1928, he married Ione Malone of Brownington and to them were born five children, Joyce, Duane, Keith, John and Gary. In 1941 the family moved to California where they remained until the close of World War II. Upon their return, Roehl drove a transport truck for W. S. Dickey Tile Co., later operating his own fleet of trucks from the Knisely Rock Quarry for 15 years. He was custodian and bus driver in the Deepwater School System from 1966 through 1969.
In 1957 he and Mildred Snyder Lozaw were married and they made their home in Deepwater the remainder of his life. He is survived by his wife Mildred, of the home; a daughter Joyce and her husband Donald "Stag" Hills, Shirley T. Church, Shirley Jean Church, and Hazel Church; 14 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, three great-great-granddaughters, many nieces and nephews and a host of friends. He was preceded in death by his wife Iona, sons, Duane, Keith, John and Gary, and by a grandson Kenny Hills; his father and mother; two brothers, Bill and Charles, and three sisters, Eva Heard, Clarice Franks and his twin sister Rosa Helen Roberts. Graveside services were held at the Maplewood Cemetery, Brownington, on Wednesday, October 21, 1998. Burial was in the Maplewood Cemetery, Brownington.
