He was 103 and would have celebrated in 104th birthday on June 25." "Rose came to the United States from Germany at the age of 12 years to make his home with an uncle at Brenham." "His first wife died after 17 years of marriage. They were the parents of seven children. After his second marriage he moved to Beasley with his wife and family in 1902. Mrs. Rose died in 1957 after the couple had been married for 59 years. She was in her late 90's." Mr. Rose moved to Rosenberg to make his home with a son, William Rose, who passed away in 1958. Grandpa Rose continued to make his home with his daughter-in-law at 1020 Seventh Street." "He was a retired farmer." "Funeral services were held Sunday at 3 p.m. in the Immanuel United Church of Christ in Needville with Rev. Ed H. Weltge officiating." "Survivors include two sons, Otto and Fred of Beasley; two granddaughters and four grandsons." "Pall bearers were Rudolph Roesler, Albin Tielke, Henry Tielke, Willie Tielke, Henry Oberhoff, and John Oberhoff." "Services were under the direction of Garmany and Company Funeral Directors." ~~~Henry Rose Celebrates 100th Birthday, June 25th "On June 25, 1859 John Henry Rose was born in Germany. At the age of 12 years he came to America alone to live with an uncle. He landed at Galveston after having been on the water for nine weeks and it took him all day to travel to Brenham in Washington County to his uncle's home. He lived with them until he married at an early age." "His first wife died after 17 years of marriage, leaving him with seven children, two of whom are still living. He later married Mrs. Minnie Ringner at Brenham and they moved to Fort Bend County to the Beasley community in 1902. Mrs. Rose lived until two years ago when she died in her late nineties at Needville. They were married 59 years. Mr. Rose was a farmer in the Beasley and Needville communities as long as his health permitted." "After Mrs. Rose's death he came to Rosenberg to live with his son, Wm. Rose. After the younger Mr. Rose died on February 13, 1958 the elderly Mr. Rose continued to live at the home of his daughter-in-law, at 1020 Seventh St." "In spite of his advanced age he gets around pretty well and reads his Bible daily and threads a needle without glasses. During the winter he pieced a quilt. He is a member of the Evangelical and Reformed Church at Needville." "For his 100th birthday celebration Thursday all of his children and grandchildren and a few friends were present. He has two sons, Fred and Otto Rose of Beasley, six grandchildren and one step-son. Theo Ringner of Needville, and nine great-grandchildren. Mrs. Rose and her daughter-in-law, Mrs Vladik Walcik, planned the party in his honor. The pretty three-tiered birthday cake was baked by a grandson's wife, Mrs. Leroy Rose. It was topped with the numerals "100", denoting the long long years he has lived."
