Beschreibung

Two-year-old Rosa 'Rose' Blocher traveled with her Old German Baptist parents from Carroll County, Indiana, to Ward County, North Dakota, in 1902. The family moved back to Indiana in 1907, but the potential of North Dakota lured them back two years later. As a teenager, Rose became smitten with a farmhand, twenty-one years older than her, who lived and worked with her family. Her parents forbade them to marry. Twenty-one-year-old Rose spent a year in California and returned to North Dakota in March 1922. Twenty-one months after returning to North Dakota, she married Forrest Scholl. They soon moved to Indiana and had two children. Rose filed for divorce and received it in December 1931. Rose never remarried and lived the rest of her life in Carroll County, apart from four and a half years spent as a girls' supervisor at the Mexico Welfare Home in Miami County, Indiana.
