Throng Attends
Final Rites
For Mark Rose

Mark Rose was laiC to rest in
afternoon, bringing TO a close one
of the most colorful and turbulent
lives of this era.
Seventy years of life ended for
this belligerent, tireless fighter who
devoted most of his time to the
battle for construction of the ALL
American canal and Boulder dam
which exist totay as monuments to
him. =
Past his bier in the Holtville
Methodist church slowly walked
the hundreds of friends and enem-
les he had made in the 43 years of
his residence in Imperial Valley.
Tears Cimmed the eyes of some of
the men with whom Rose had Wag-
ed bitter political struggles for
many years. They were saddened
by his passing because they res
pected him as an antagonist. They
will miss him, too.
Representative of Imperial VAL

this man. Aged men and women.

him q last tribute by attending his
funeral and following him to his
grave. Every nationality living in
Imperial Valley was represented at
the funeral. They did not forget
that at some time in his stormy
career Mark Rose had befriendec
them.
If spectator never had known
Mark Rose, a glance at the persons
at the funeral would have shown
that he was truly a man of the
people capable of meeting and
knowing all types of men and Wom-
en-.
Gorgeous flowers banked the
church, flowers of all kinds. Some
thoughtful friend had slipped in
cluster of desert greenery. If Mark
Rose had seen it among its brilliant
associated, he would have loved it
best of all.
