MRS. CATHERINE ROSE DIES

STROKE OF PARALYSIS FATAL TO CARTHAGE WOMAN
__________

Was Stricken Friday Morning -Came To This City in 1874-

Mrs. Catherine Rose died at 12:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon without regaining consciousness, after being stricken with paralysis last Friday morning at her home, two miles south on Grand Avenue Road.

Mrs. Rose was born in Canton, Illinois November 7, 1842. Her father, Alfred Flowers, died when she was three years old. Her mother married Thomas Wiggins in 1849. With her parents she moved from Illinois to Ohio in 1860.

In the spring of 1861 she was married to Silas B. Rose at Kinderhook, Ohio. In 1874 they moved to Carthage and settled on the farm where they have ever since made their home.

Her husband died in 1902.

Mrs. Rose was the mother of five children, all living and with her in her last moments to comfort and minister to her every need. They are;
A. V. Rose, who lives just south of town
Joe Rose of South Grand Avenue who is a rural mail carrier
Mary, Nellie and George, who reside at the family home

three grandchildren;
Catherine, Loyd and Ernest Rose

One full brother;
William A. Flowers of northeast of Carthage

and the following half-brothers and sisters survive;
Henry A. Wiggins
Thomas L. Wiggins
P. N. Wiggins
Mrs. Piatt 'Manda' Carnahan
Marinda Wiggins all of this city and
Mrs. T. W. Fritts of Charleston, Washington

She will be mourned and missed by a host of more distant relatives and friends, for to know her was to love her, as she was a woman of unusual Christain grace, always cheerful under the most trying circumstances and ever ready to give a help onward and upward. She sustained a fall about 25 years ago which injured her hip and from which she never fully recovered, as it left her lame and a great sufferer so that she was denied the pleasure of mingling with her friends except as they visited her home. But through it all they found her corageous and cheerful. To spend a day in "Aunt Kate's" home was a pleasure that no one who ever had the privilege could forget. And none could be feel the presence of one whose life reflected goodness and her blessing went forth to all who have visited her.

She was a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of this city.

Funeral services were conducted at the home
Rev O. J. Carder officiated.
