• Notes

  Rose was the daughter of Carl Christian Jacob Ferdinand Obenland and his second wife, Christiana Katharina Goeldenboth. She was born in Maryland on August 19, 1891. Rose was one of three daughters born to Carl and Christiana. Her sisters' names were Katharine and Caroline. Rose also had two brothers who died in infancy. In 1900, Rosa was living with her aunt, Rosa Goeldenboth Hallwig in Howard County, Maryland. The 1910 Census lists Rose living in Lower Gwynedd, Maryland, with her mother and sisters. Mother Christiana was a laundress, as were Rose and her sister Katharine. In 1918, Rose married Louis Franklin Finley. He worked as an iron worker. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Marriage Index lists their marriage certificate #411892 in 1919. However, Louis's WWI registration card lists Rose as his wife. This card was filled out in September, 1918. Rose and Louis had one son, Louis Franklin Finley, Jr. He was born on June 20, 1921 in Pennsylvania. The 1930 Census lists Rose as married, but the head of the household. Her husband Louis is not listed on the census as living with his family. I found him listed as an inmate at the Bastern State Penitentiary, in Skippack Township, Montgomery, County, Pennsylvania. Rose passed away in September, 1968 in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
