Mrs. Rose Moreland, mother of Mrs. I. W. Van Wagenen, was born in Ireland, February 12, 1812 and came to her death in Rock Rapids November 9, 1902, after a year of close confinement to her bed and much suffering resulting from a fractured arm produced by a fall. She was brought to this country by her parents when but five years of age, and when she married, lived for a time in Washington, Iowa. In 1898 moving to Rock Rapids to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. Van Wagenen. Until the hour of her broken arm she was regarded as a wonderfully hale and active old lady, and as long as she was able, attended the services of the Catholic church, of which she was a faithful member, with the utmost regularity. Her remains rest in the Catholic cemetery at Washington by the side of her husband who preceded her to the better world by some nineteen years. The Moreland family has a somewhat remarkable history for longevity. There was an aunt of Mrs. Van Wagenen who lived to be one hundred and twelve years old, and her grandfather attained the age of a hundred years. One of the brothers of Mrs. Rose Moreland became a noted lawyer of Pittsburg. .
