Brief Obituary of Rev. Washington Roosevelt of Pelham Published February
13, 1884
A brief obituary announcing the death of Rev. Washington Roosevelt on
February 11, 1884 appeared in the February 13, 1884 issue of the
New-York Tribune. Below is the text of that brief obituary.
"ROOSEVELT -- The Rev. Washington Roosevelt, at Pelham, Westchester
County, on Monday, February 11, in his 82d year.
Funeral at the Presbyterian Church, in Pelham Manor, on Thursday next at 2
o'clock.
Relatives are requested to meet at his late residence at half-past 1.
Carriages will be at the New-Rochelle Depot to meet the 12 o'clock train
from Grand Central Depot.
Please omit flowers."
Source: Roosevelt, New-York Tribune, Feb. 13, 1884, p. 5, col. 6.
The reference in the obituary to the "Presbyterian Church, in Pelham
Manor" is a reference to the Little Red Church, the sanctuary of Huguenot
Memorial Presbyterian Church.
