GRAVESTONE:
There is no grave marker established in the cemetery for Rose. The photographer placed a small American flag in the approximate location. You can see it in the background.
Rose Marie Jackson was born in Butte, Mt, in 1907. Her father, Arthur F. Jackson was born in Dublin, Ireland, and her mother, Catherine Lees Ward, was born in Carnwath, near Glasgow, Scotland.
Catherine met Dublineer, Arthur Jackson, in Glasgow as he is living their with his family in 1901 as seen on the country census. In 1905 they pooled their money and off to Butte, Montana, he went in April, 1905, to secure a job and home. Butte had several mines, especially copper mines that drew thousands of workers. As soon as Catherine arrived with her three children in September 1905, they married. She and her 3 children from her first husband, Tom (Scotty), Catherine (Katie), and Margaret Mary, (Rita), traveled on the S. S. Numidian, to Ellis Island, New York.
Catherine and Arthur went on to have four children, in Butte, however, Catherine died in 1914 from childbirth with their fourth child, Kathryn, otherwise known as Dolly..
It is a sad tale of struggle and hardship as they survived the times of the copper mines, World War I, and the Spanish Influenza with the aftermath. Their firstborn, daughter Rose, died from Encephalitis Lethargica, which was an aftermath of the Spanish Flu. She had apparently been adopted by one uncle Jackson and went with him to Portland, Oregon. (See the movie "Awakenings" with Robin Williams. This was a true story about the same disorder.
I came upon a mortuary notice in the Oregonian newspaper in 1919, regarding the death of a twelve year old child, Rose M. Jackson-Iverson. The Jackson family was not aware of the Iveson surname. Her other siblings, with the exception of Rita, all lived to enjoy families and a fairly long life.
