She was received into the Kingdom of God by means of Holy Baptism administered by Rev. Boettcher June 21, 1885. On May 7, 1899, she was confirmed in the Lutheran faith by Pastor E.G. Fritz. Bertha Gollnick was united in holy matrimony to Ludwig Roske of Tyro Township, Yellow Medicine County, on May 5, 1908, by Pastor E.G. Fritz. The Lord blessed this union with three children: William, Augusta and Walter. Mrs. Roske had been in failing health for the last several years.
