Eliza Harad Winder
|
Eliza was born 6 September 1845 (also recorded 1846 and 1848) in Dover, Kent, England (near London), the daughter of William and Sarah Ann Clark Winder.
On 29 August 1883, the Rose family, including James Rose (age 39), his wife Mrs. E. Rose (age 38), and children William James (age 16), Anne E also spelled Annie E (age 11), Emily A (age 4 or 6), and Albert (infant) sailed to America on the Steamship Nevada. They arrived in New York City on 8 September 1883 and from there traveled on to Salt Lake City. Two children died shortly before they left England. James Richard, James' son, died on 26 July 1883 at nearly twelve years of age. According to dates, this was about one month before they sailed to America. Minnie, James' daughter, died 8 August 1883, only three weeks before leaving England. Previous to these deaths, Eleanor Jane Ellen died in 1871 when only six months old. It was difficult to leave their deceased children as they set out for a new country and a new life. After arriving in their new home, Albert Frederick, about seventeen years of age, died in Centerville, Utah 11 January 1899. Hardship and sorrow were not strangers to James and Eliza. According to a census taken 15 June 1900 in Centerville, Davis, Utah, James being 58 years old and Eliza 54 and having been married for 35 years and living in the United States for 16 years, were the parents of twelve children, seven of which were still living at the time the census was taken. The census records indicates that they had lost five children during the first 35 years of their marriage. All members of the family had received their Naturalization. James' occupation was listed as a farmer and his farm and home were owned free of mortgage. In the 1910 Census taken in Centerville, Utah, James is shown at age 64 with his wife age 62. Both received their citizenship in 1883. James' occupation is shown as a house painter. The children born to James and Eliza were: Rosina Francis (1865), William James (1867), Eleanor Jane (1869), Annie Eliza (1871), James Richard (1872), Alfred (1875), Emily Ada (1877), Minnie Sarah (1878), Albert Frederick (1882), Edith Elizabeth (1884), and Sydney Edwin (1886). The early families of Centerville were usually large. Children were desired. It was the instruction, belief, and practice to follow the commandment, "multiply and replenish the earth". One of James and Eliza's granddaughters, Edith, remembers Grandpa and Grandma raising peacocks, cows, and chickens. She recalls trying to ride the peacocks on their visits there as children. It was also related that Grandpa Rose had a smoke house and cured meats. He had molds and made his own meats to slice and sell. History of the Rose Family
