Auguste Rosine (Rosa) was born in February, 1827 in Wurttemburg, Germany to Jacob Friedrich and Sophie Dorothea (Kummerle) Peter. She was one of 4 children born to the couple. Rosine had one sister, Luise Regine, born October 23, 1831. She died September 20, 1832. Rosine had two brothers, Christian Ludwig, born November 17, 1834 and Gottfried Friedrich, born October 23, 1831.
On May 5, 1859, she married Johann Christian Obenland. Johann was the son of Jakob and Marie Elisabet Widmann Obenland. The wedding took place in the church in Heilbronn, Neckarkreis, Wurttemburg.
Their daughter Friederika Dorothea Caroline was born on October 31, 1859. Another daughter, Marie Caroline, was born May 22, 1862.
Their daughters immigrated to the United States in 1882. Johann Christian and Rosine left Bremen, Germany on the Elbe. They arrived in New York on September 27, 1884.
Rosa's husband was a blacksmith. The Peoria, Illinois Directory of 1890, 1891 and 1892 shows him working for John Schneider at 100 Cross St. in Peoria. We can assume that the couple lived in the area.
Rosa's husband died in 1897 in Elgin, Illinois. The 1900 Federal Census shows Rosa as then living with her daughter Maria (Mary) and her husband Fred Preiss.
Rosa died on Jan. 22, 1918, at her home at 215 Hill St. in Elgin, Illinois. Her Illinois State Death Certificate number is 0021713. That certificate states that her cause of death was Broncho Pneumonia with a contributing factor of Influenza. The first case of the Spanish Flu in the United States is typically thought to be that of an Army cook at Camp Funston, Kansas on March 4, 1918. However, there were other, earlier cases, as early as January. Could Rosa have been one of those?
Rosa was buried in Bluff City Cemetery on January 25, 1918.
