DEATH OF MRS. C. S. ROSE

Prominent Lady Succumbed To In
juries Received A Short Time Ago.
Mrs. Charlotte Sewel Rose, an
aged and respected resident of Man
kato, and descendent of a prominent
eastern family, passed away this
morning about seven o'clock at I'M
manuel hospital, where she had been
receiving treatment for several weeks.
Death resulted from injuries received
August %, when she missed her foot
ing on the stairway at her home and
fell, sustaining a compound fracture
of one of her hips, broken arm, and
bad bruises, these injuries being later
complicated by ailments attendant
upon old age.
She was born in Maine on January
3, 1884, the daughter of General and
Mrs. Laid, and grew to womanhood
in that state, where she attended the
academy at Pennington, being a
college-mate of the late Mrs. C. A.
Chapman. In 1852 she was married
to Robert H. Rose of Silver Lake,
Penn, and they made their home at
that place for a couple of years be-
fore coming west.
In 1855 the family moved to st.
Paul, and in 1857 moved to Belle
PLANE. They moved to Mankato in
1872, where they located, and decided
to stay, Mr.. Rose engaging in the
real estate and insurance business.
During the Civil war he served as
Major of the Second Minnesota Cav
airy, and was placed in command of
Fort Wadsworth. He also served as
senator from LIE Sueur county in the
early days. Major Rose preceded his
wife in death, passing away March
Is, 1885.
Surviving relatives are the children,
Mrs. William c. Edwards of Rochest-
