Rose, the daughter of Judson Erwin Hyland and Caroline Chilson, married William Budd Cropsey 1 January 1885 at the home of her parent's in Plainfield, Will, Illinois. When first married, Rose & W.B.resided on the Old Cropsey farm where the Cropsey family had lived for 40 years. In 1887, they moved to Fairbury, NE and lived there 13 years. The loss of their only daughter, Carrie, to diphtheria must have been devastating to her parents. Within months of her death they had picked up stakes and removed from the relatively settled Fairbury, where Rose had a typical Nebraska two-story, clapboard farm home, to the wilds of Shell Creek, WY, where she moved into a rough hewn log-cabin chinked with mud.
Rose made this into a home where friends came to visit. She and the Colonel traveled around Wyoming; she joined social clubs traveling to town by horse and buggy or later car to attend social events. She moved several times following the rambling foot steps of her husband. They lived in Fairbury, NE, Shell Creek and Greybull, WY, Lewiston, ID, Plainfield, IL, and Garden City, KS.
Rose was an independent spirit who frequently traveled on her own. Known trips include her driving the buggy over over the Big Horns via Shell Creek to Sheridan with her friend Nelly. In route, they lost a wheel and in trying to fix it, her son Dan, who wasn't in school yet, broke his arm. She would return to Plainfield for considerable lengths of time visiting various family members. She was in Plainfield Feb 1912 for an extended stay because of her mother's poor health; she was there thru Oct. She went again from at least April through Oct. of 1914; whether she went to Billings first with WB isn't known. She made another trip in 1920, after their return from Lewiston, ID. She also traveled to Denver, to Oregon, and to Kansas to visit family and friends.
Rose was active in the Baptist Church. She was a charter member of the First Baptist Church in Basin; and then again in Greybull in 1918. She was a devout Christian who truly lived what she believed. She cheerfully helped others, stepping in when needed. She came when anyone was having a baby, like a mid-wife. After her daughter-in-law, May, passed on, she took care of Corte's 5 children until Corte was resettled. Rose was 58 when she took on the care of 5 grandchildren.
Their children, Corte Hamilton, Caroline M., and Daniel Budd were born in Fairbury, NE. Caroline was born 14 Feb 1891 and died 1 Nov 1899.
