“Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists."
― Franklin D. Roosevelt
  

Klodawa is just north of Lodz in the Posnan or Posen province. Before World War I, Poland was a province of the Russian empire. 

Chicago, Illinois saw a major expansion in industry in the 1920s and prohibition led to the Gangster Era from 1919 until 1933. It was the nation's railroad center.

Rose Swentoslawski Morrison Rose was born about 1902 in Klodawa, Poland. She was the youngest daughter of Moishe Swentoslawski and Pearl Kolsky.

She maried Louis Rose about 1920. He was born about 1895 in Illinois. Their children were born in Illinois. June Rose was born in 1921 and Marvin Rose was born May 20, 1925. At the time of the 1930 census they were living in Chicago. Louis was a wholesale furniture salesman. Census records indicate that she immigrated to the United States in 1921.

After a few years of widowhood she committed suicide by jumping out a window.
