He died Wednesday, October 27, 1982 at 12:22 p.m. in the St. Francis Hospital in Mountain View at the age of 91 years, 10 months, and 9 days. In 1912, he married Ethel Davis of Winona, Missouri. To this marriage three children were born: Davis Francis of Eminence, Oley Francis Jr. of St. James, and Allie Rose, deceased. After his wife, Ethel, died in 1921, he married Bess Keathley in 1923, and they raised one daughter, Mildred Keathley Hensley, deceased. He is survived by his two sons, Davis and Oley Jr.; one daughter-in-law, Thelma; three children, Davis Jr. and wife, Joan Roush, of West Plains; Linda Pat Hensley of St. Louis, and Kris Hensley of Boehringer and husband, Boe, of St. Louis; three great grandchildren, AFC Rick Roush and wife, Sheila, of the Air Force Base, Mtn.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a step-father, Andrew Peace; two brothers, Otis and Oscar Roush; and three half-brothers, Carl, Bill, and Ernest Peace. Oley worked in timber and saw milled all his working days. He was known as "Saw" Miller Roush to his many friends. They lived in many places around Howell, Shannon and Carter Counties, working the timber from the land. "Dad O", a nickname he acquired by his first grandson, Davis Jr., was carried on down with all the rest of the grandchildren and family. He gave so much happiness and shared so much kindness. Many good memories surrounding his life will be cherished forever, not only by his family, but his friends also. As a young man, he made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ and was saved during a revival in a small church north of Summersville. He remained true to his belief and was a faithful worker and supporter of the Eminence Baptist Church. Oley was not one to criticize the short comings of others. He was a very self-disciplined man, and he was well known for his honesty, integrity and fairness with others. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and a sympathetic ear to your problems and advise if he could, but never to offend. He will be sadly missed by his family and all who knew and loved him. Services were held at the Duncan Funeral Chapel in Eminence Saturday, October 30, 1982 at 10:00 a.m., with Rev. Raymond Sconce and Rev. Rick Miller officiating. Interment was in the New Eminence Cemetery in Eminence.
