Herman Philip Rose or rural Bloomfield, was born in Hornick, Iowa in 1891. He was the son of Louie and Lusetta Rose. When he was fourteen, he moved with his family to a farm west of Bloomfield. He farmed with his father until he went into the U.S. Army in World War I. He served in Germany.
Herman had three brothers and three sisters: Everett, Lawrence and Arthur; Bertha, Edna and Amelia.
Emma Wilhelmia Hinzmann of Bazile Mills was born in Germany. She came to America with her family in 1904. She could remember when everyone was so excited when they saw the Statue of Liberty. The Hinzmann family settled at Bazile Mills. They joined the Christ Lutheran Church there. Emma had four brothers and four sisters:Bill, Charlie, Helmut, and Bernard; Minnie, Herta, and Martha.
On March 30, 1920, Herman Rose and Emma Hinzmann were married in the church at Bazile Mills. After their marriage, they moved to the place where Herman's sister , Bertha Lange had lived. She moved off when her husband died of the flu. In 1933 they moved to a farm southwest of Bloomfield. When they moved from the northwest community, they had seven little girls, and a change of atmosphere brought them three husky boys and one more girl.
Herman and Emma were life long members of First Trinity Lutheran Church of Bloomfield. They served in various organizations.
Herman farmed with horses. HE raised hogs, cattle and horses. The children raised chickens to sell for spending money and shoes. Times were hard in the 30's with grasshoppers, sandburs and the drought. The girls herded cows because there just wasn't enough pasture for grazing.
When it did rain, the girls used the ditches as a swimming pool. Family remembers their mother in the basement with the Matag washer, washing some twenty loads of wash and hanging it on a clothes line outside, it would take all day to do this. The kids in those days helped iron clothes with up a flat iron, heated up on the kitchen cook stove. The stove would bake ten loaves of bread and many coffee cakes every other day. The girls would clean the chickens , bake fresh pies and fresh bread for the neighbor men that were doing the thrashing at the place that day. One person could be kept busy just running up and down to the cave, which was used as a refrigerator back then. A special treat on everyone's birthday was homemade ice cream. With all the kids that was about once a month. Toppings used on the ice cream back then was crushed soda crackers and crushed corn flakes.
Children helped whenever there was a need, picking corn, picking up spuds, helping to stack hay, cleaning chickens, milking cows, washing the separator, which was the worse job. picking up corn cobs from the pig pen for the stoves in the house.
On Saturday evenings after chores were done and listen to Guy Loumbardo on the radio.
Herman got his first Ironhorse in 1943. HE was very proud of it,
