Clarabelle Rose
     Miss Clarabelle Rose, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Rose of Cuba, was
born in the town of Lyndon, Feb. 20, 1889.  She was educated at Cuba high
school and in 1913 graduated as a nurse from the Buffalo General hospital.
Later she took a position in the Dansville sanitarium, where she practiced her
profession.
     In 1917 she wished to enlist as a Red Cross nurse and volunteered for
service in France, but on taking the required physical examination she was
informed that she was afflicted with tuberculosis.  She made a long and
determined struggle against the disease and everything possible was done for
her recovery, but without avail.
     In November she went to Raybrook in the Adirondacks, were she passed 18
months. About the first of last October she went to Helix, Oregon, in the hope
that the change of climate might be beneficial and for two months or more her
health seemed much improved.  About Christmas time she began to decline,
however, and she died on Feb. 5. 
     Her remains were brought to Cuba, where her funeral took place Feb. 12,
at the home of her parents on East Main street, the Rev. T. W. Carter
conducting the service.
     The deceased was a devoted member of the Baptist church and was actively
interested in the Philathea class and in the choir, to which she also
belonged.
     Beside her parents, Miss Rose left the following brothers and sisters:
Harry E., John and Genevieve of Helix, Oregon; Ernest and Myrtal of Rochester;
Mrs. Clarence Neil, and Marion and Irene Rose of Cuba.
