Decatur Herald 4/13/1913
Mrs. William Schroll died Thursday at St. Petersburg, Fla after a brief illness. She was 80 years old. She was born in Kendal, W. Moreland county, England, Jan. 1,1833 and came to America in 1850.
She was married to William Schroll in 1855 and settled near Warrensburg where they lived until 1881 when they moved to Decatur.
To them were born nine children, four of whom are living, John, Greenview, Miss, Mrs. Nel Schroll Clark, Des. Moines, IA and Fred Schroll who was with his mother at the time of her death. She leaves two sisters, one in England one in Idaho and a brother in California.
Mrs Nell Clark arrived in Decatur Saturday and she started for Florida, summoned by the illness of her mother. She received a telegram that her mother had died. She is staying in the home of her brother John Schroll. The family started from Florida Saturday with the body and since there are high waters on the railroad tracks it is not known exactly when they will arrive.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete.
