Mrs.
P.H. Rose, 74, mother of the well known Rose brothers, died in the Bickel
hospital at 2 o’clock Friday afternoon. Mrs. Rose was taken to the hospital
less than a day before her death, suffering from an intestinal obstruction that
had troubled her for more than a month.
Apparently
Mrs. Rose was in fairly good health up until the death of her young grandson,
13-year-old Quentin Rose. The aged
lady was deeply grieved and shocked by the tragedy. A day or two after the
boy’s death, Mrs. Rose fell in her kitchen, shaking her up badly. From that
time on she grew steadily worse.
Mrs.
Rose was unable to retain any food. Finally about 4 o’clock Thursday afternoon
she was taken from her rooms in the Mrs. Maude Rudisaile home on North Poplar,
to the hospital where she died 22 hours later
The
body was taken to the River Funeral Home. Services were to be Sunday afternoon
at 1:30 in the Verea [sic, Berea] church near Ketterman, Mo.
Ketterman is a small town a short distance northwest of Walker. Interment
will be in the cemetery adjoining the church.
Ellen
Rosalie Capps was born in Troy, Mo., on December 18, 1864, and consequently was
74 years, 0 month and 26 days old at the time of her death. When she was a girl
of 18, Ellen Rosalie married Patrick H. Rose. The marriage was performed in
Lincoln County in 1882.
A
year later Mr. And Mrs. Rose moved to Vernon County. They settled near Walker
where they were destined to live most of their married life. They have lived
there except for two intervals. Some years ago they came to Lamar for a time,
later moving back to Vernon County. Last summer Mr. And Mrs. Rose again came to
Lamar. They visited with their children for a time and then took rooms here in
Lamar.
Three
sons and a daughter besides Mrs. Rose’s husband, survive. They are Charles
Rose, operator of the Lamar Dairy; Horace Rose, who lives four miles north of
Lamar, and Delbert Rose, formerly of Lamar but now of Carthage. The daughter is
Mrs. Luther Gowin of Carthage. One child
died in infancy, another at the age of 5 and a daughter Mrs. Verdta Spencer died
when she was 19. Two brothers, Henry Capps of Collins, and Thomas Capps of
Humansville; and one sister, Miss Mary Capps of Ironton, also survive.
There
are seventeen grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
