Veteran Justice of the Peace Buried Today from Sacred Heart Church

Remains Viewed by Sorrowing Crowds

Final tribute was this morning paid to the departed memory of Justice F. Joseph Rouh when his funeral occurred from his late residence, 753 Ferry Avenue. High mass was sung at the Sacred Heart Church with Reverend J.B. McCloskey as celebrant, and the remains were interred at the family plot at Evergreen Cemetery by Undertaker George Blake.

The pallbearers were Frank Wagner, Daniel Kelly, William Mullin, William Buchey, J. Michael, and J. Buchey. The remains reposed in a handsome walnut casket and many floral pieces surrounded the bier. The name plate upon the casket bore the inscription:

F. Joseph Rouh Died May 5, 1914 Aged 72 years

Last night hundreds of persons visited the Rouh residence and gazed upon the features of the aged and respected gentleman, who was known by almost everyone in the Eighth Ward. Squire Rouh was a pioneer resident of "Centerville" and his loss will be regretted by many.

Mr. Rouh's death followed an illness of several months. His wife, Marianna Rouh, and one son, Charles Rouh, survive him.
