- Mrs. ROSE's maiden name was Nancy Lovina GREEN.
She was the daughter of
- Stillman and Esther WELLS GREEN, born near Oswego,
Pa., July 11, 1842, so that at the time of her death on Feb.
5, 1926, she was in the 84th year of her life.
- When she was four years old, in 1846, her parents moved to
southern Wisconsin,
- settling on a farm on the Rock River road northwest of Milton
Junction, a part of which is now occupied by Homer BALCH.
- Nancy was the oldest of seven children, four daughters and
three sons. Her youngest
- sister, Mary, who became the wife of Joseph FASSETT,
died in April, 1906. The other sisters and the brothers all survive
her, and are Stephen GREEN who lives at Hot Springs, S.
Dak., Sarah, the wife of James WHEATCRAFT of North Loup,
Neb., Henry W. GREEN of Milton Junction, John GREEN
of Edgerton, and Adelsia, the wife of Charles HAYNES of
Sibley, Iowa.
- When about 15 years old, Mrs. ROSE was baptized, and
became a member of the
- Rock River Seventh Day Baptist church where her membership
remained until transferred to the church triumphant.
- On July 7, 1858, she was married to Nathaniel M. ROSE.
They have always made
- their home on the farm where the farewell service for Mrs.
ROSE was held on Feb. 7, 1926. Mr. ROSE passed
away several years ago. Their oldest child, by adoption, was
Alice, now Mrs. ROGERS, who makes her home in Milwaukee
where her son Walter resides. Then came the twins, Marion A.
ROSE of Edgerton, and Mary A., always known as Kittie,
who became the wife of Elmer D. VINCENT, and who died
June, 1908. The next child was Jennie L. ROSE, a successful
school teacher, who died in October, 1904. The next is Maude
E. ROSE, whose sacrificial devotion in caring for her
invalid mother so many weary days and lonely nights, with such
untiring loving loyalty is known to all, and is worth of great
commendation. There was a son who died in infancy. The youngest
was Katie, a charming girl, who died in early womanhood.
- Besides these surviving children, and the brother and sisters,
Mrs. ROSE leaves nine
- grandchildren, six great grandchildren, and a large number
of other kinfolks to mourn her loss.
- These facts are few, but they are a framework of a life that
has been for almost four
- score years a moulding factor in the neighborhood. She has
always been ready and glad to serve her friends and neighbors
in any way within her power. Her home was a place of hospitality
and of kindly service.
- Rev. Edwin Shaw officiated at the funeral Sunday afternoon
at 3 o'clock. Mrs.
- Edward HULL and Mrs. Wayland COON sang Mrs.
ROSE's favorite hymns "What a Friend We Have in Jesus,"
and "Asleep in Jesus." The pallbearers were George
SALMON, Ben and Willis VINCENT, and Kenneth ROSE.
Interment was in the Rock River cemetery. [Thursday edition,
