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.
