Story of the Sargent Family 7-4-1972
by Ella Peterson Sargent
Rose (I recall her real name was Rosina.) was born in New Hampton, Massachusetts (correction - New York) in 1855. She had been living in the Zumbrota area with her family, the Harts. Two of her brothers, Frank and Fred, became Methodist ministers, serving mostly in the Chicago area. She also had two sisters. One, Emma, married a man named Baker, and one Ella, married a man named Sanderson, Ella lived in Brookings, South Dakota. One of the Baker boys, Harry, became a doctor and lived in Hayfield, Minnesota. I understand his son, also a doctor, now lives there.
Grandma Rose's life could not have been an easy one. She doctored her ten children, herself and sewed most of their clothes besides serving her large household. They always had some hired men, also hired girls, and some homeless people were welcomed into their home. Her mother, Grandma Hart, also lived with them and for several years was an invalid.
Rose was an active member of the W.C.T.U. for many years and also a faithful attender of the Presbyterian church.
Rose passed away in 1919. On her death certificate the doctor mentioned that her disease was not tuberculosis as many people assumed. She is buried in Burnside Cemetery.
