Bio

May 1912 , La Cygne, Linn, KS ---- GONE TO HER REST ---- ANOTHER OF LINN COUNTY'S PIONEERS CALLED HOME: On Last Friday Mrs. J. A. Rose, a Resident of Kansas Since 1858 Passed Away at Her Home East of the City. Mrs. J. A. Rose passed peacefully to rest last Friday, at her home 3 1/2 miles east of La Cygne, after an illness extending over several years, Mrs. Rose was one among the earliest settlers of this portion of Kansas, having come direct here from her home in England away back in 1858. She saw Kansas in it's wildest aspects when it was a magnificent waste of virgin prairie, the home of buffalo and other varieties of wild game and wilder Indians. She lived through the terrors of a lawless frontier period, the violent disturbances over the slavery question preceding the admission of the territory to statehood in 1861, and the fierce guerilla raids that swept like a destructive storm over this region throughout the years of the Civil War. There was enough of adventure, excitement, danger and romance in her early years in Kansas to have filled volumes with true tales more thrilling than any fiction. Mrs. Rose's maiden name was Jane Weech, and she was born February 28, 1844, at Somerton, Somersetshire, England. She came with her parents to America in 1858. In 1860 she was converted, baptized and became a member of Union Baptist Church, and remained a consistent Christian the balance of her days. January 27, 1861, she was married to Julius Alexander Rose, who died September 16, 1907. To them were born eleven children, six girls and five boys. Five of these children preceded the mother in death, the survivors being Joseph A. Rose, Sarah F. Mitchell, Ida J. Rogers, Harbert E. Rose, J. Arthur Rose, all of La Cygne, and James H. Rose of Kansas City, Mo. Also a grandson, Winford A. Hampton of Mooreland, Okla. All of these were at Mrs. Rose's bedside at the last. Other surviving relatives are three brothers, two sisters, twenty-three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held at the Christian Church Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Reverend J. H. Hoopingarner, pastor of the M. E. Church. A quartet composed of the Misses Carroll, Ed Moore and Clarence Cline sang appropriate and beautiful songs. A large attendance of friends and neighbors attested the high esteem in which the deceased was held. The remains were tenderly laid to rest in Oak Lawn Cemetery.
