According to son ROBERT CARLETON ROSE's obituary, his mother's maiden name was IDA W. HOLMES. (Assuming the W. stood for WINNIFRED) I would love a birth look up for her (b. Oct 1889 according to 1900 census) and marriage for her parents MARTIN D. HOLMES & IDA F. unknown. First listed child in 1900 census born June 1879, so marriage before that. Assuming marriage and birth occurred in Worcester County.
