Funeral services for Mrs. Roxcilianna Stedman, who died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Phoebe Stedman, at Winona Thursday, March 8, after an illness of a few days, were held at the Pickwick Baptist church Saturday, March 10, Rev.

Roxcilianna Gerrish was born at Yarmouth, Maine, March 13, 1846, the daughter of Hezekiah and Mary Gerrish. The family came to Minnesota when Roxcilianna was twelve years of age and settled in Winona County in the town of Pleasant Hill. After a few years they moved to the town of Hartford where the pioneer farmer erected the buildings and developed the farm which became the Gerrish home for many years. It was afterwards known as the Holland farm and is now owned by Frank Lee.
Mrs. Gerrish died when Roxcilianna was twelve years old and the young girl, the oldest of six children, was compelled to shoulder many of the farm's burdens at an early age. These responsibilities, coupled with stern experience of pioneer life, produced in her the lasting qualities of courage, indomitable will power and untiring industry which characterized her long, useful life.
Roxcilianna Gerrish and Daniel Stedman were married Dec. 2, 1887. To them were born two children, one of whom died in infancy. The surviving son, Arthur, lives in Minneapolis, and was at his mother's bedside when she died.
For about twenty years after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Stedman resided on a farm near the Gerrish farm. About thirty-five years ago, the family moved to a farm in Pickwick valley and four years later they purchased a home in the village of Pickwick where Mr. Stedman died Dec. 5, 1915. Mr. Stedman was a veteran of the civil war. After his death, Mrs. Stedman susually spent the winter months in Winona with her sister, Mrs. Phoebe Stedman.
Besides her son, Mrs. Stedman is survived by two grandsons and a great-granddaughter of Minneapolis. She is also survived by two sisters, Miss Sarah Gerrish of Flandreau, S.D. and Mrs. Phoebe Stedman of Winona, and two brothers, Charles of Flandreau, S.D. and John F. of Hopkins, all of whom were prevented by illness from attending the funeral. Her son, Arthur Stedman, and grandson Kenneth Stedman of Minneapolis were present at the services.
Mrs. Stedman was a home-loving person and was happiest when ministering to the needs of others. Of a cheerful, buoyant disposition, she had the happy art of making and keeping friends.
She filled her place in life well and the village will long remember the good friend and kind-hearted neighbor who has gone. Winona Republican Herald, Tuesday, March 13, 1923
(Unfortunately, the tombstone incorrectly states her death as 1922.)
