I've "rescued" an old photograph of R. K. ROSE of Ivoryton, Connecticut
which was taken at the Horton Bros Studio in Providence, Rhode Island. I
believe that this is a photograph of Reginald K. ROSE who may have been in
RI attending the East Greenwich Academy in the 1890's when the photograph
was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following
information regarding Reginald and his family:
Reginald K. ROSE was b. 1 Nov 1875 in Centerbrook, CT to parents Theodore
Frelinghuysen ROSE (b. 9 Jan 1850 in Centerbrook, CT-d. 17 Aug 1905 in
Essex, CT) and Belle M. CHAPMAN (b. 1849 in Westbrook, CT-d. 18 Aug 1876
Essex, CT). Reginald d. 1937 and is buried in the Hollywood Forever
Cemetery in Los Angeles, CA.
