Edward de Rosset

Edward M. de Rosset, formerly of Van Buren Street in Evans City, died Monday, March 20, 2006, in Dayton, Tennessee. Born August 3, 1915, in Orange, New Jersey, he was the last surviving of three brothers born to Graham Daves de Rosset and Genevieve Smith de Rosset. He was saved during the opening weeks of his freshman college year in 1935, and later, in 1937, felt the call to become a missionary. Edward and wife, Joyce Irene Hirschy de Rosset, were married August 5, 1941, at the First Baptist Church of Evans City. They began in 1941 as career Baptist missionaries under Baptist Mid-Missions of Cleveland, Ohio. Their life and work are perhaps well characterized by the stenciled designation on shipping crates sent back and forth to South America: “Missionary Expediter.” They left for Peru in 1944 and retired from that field in 1987. During those years of Christian service they founded six churches and were among the founders of a seminary in Trujillo, Peru. Edward de Rosset was a quiet man placed in life with some physical challenges that were overmatched by his calling, faith, determination, and humble good humor. Edward de Rosset’s life was one of call to service in a land of people with great spiritual and material need, in which he used every skill he learned in life as minister, teacher, toymaker, mechanic, furniture maker, builder, repairman, and friend. Edward de Rosset grew up in Dunellen, New Jersey, and graduated from Boundbrook High School, Boundbrook, New Jersey, and from Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee, with a BS in Chemistry. He also attended National Bible Institute of NY and Grace Seminary in Winona Lake, IN. He was ordained for ministry at First Baptist Church of Evans City, PA, February 23, 1942, with Rev. Norman Hirschy presiding. Edward de Rosset was a lifetime member of the First Baptist Church of Evans City. Surviving are his wife of sixty-four years, Joyce Irene Hirschy de Rosset; a daughter and her husband, Karin and Jack Traylor, of Dayton, TN; a daughter Rosalie de Rosset of Chicago, ILL; a son and his wife Frederick and Carol de Rosset of Berea, KY; a son and his wife, Edward and Lou Ann de Rosset, of Barbourville, KY; and also two granddaughters, Rachel Elizabeth de Rosset of Berea, KY; and Chloe Rose de Rosset of Barbourville, KY. He was preceded in death by elder brothers David Graham and John Whittington de Rosset. Visitation will be held Friday, March 24th, from 6:00-9:00 PM, and Saturday, March 25th, from 9:00-10:30 AM at First Baptist Church of Evans City. Funeral services will be at 11:00 AM, Saturday, March 25th, with Rev. Jeff McKay officiating and Rev. Kenneth Brougham assisting. Burial will be at the Evans City Cemetery.
