ROSSMAN, ZELLER posted by Mary Zeller on Tuesday, March 21, 2000: Anastasia (ROSSMAN) ZELLER died in Brookings, SD in December of 1905. She was only 31 years old and left 4 children. The oldest was 5 years old and the youngest only a few months old. These children ended up in an orphanage eventually. I'm hoping that the obit would tell what happened to Anastasia and if any of her Rossman relatives are listed as survivors. Because the children were so young not much information could be passed down. I'm hoping that an obit exists in Brookings somewhere.

I don't know how long they lived in Brookings Co. or if they were just passing thru on their way to the Oregon Territory. Any info would be appreciated.
