| 1 | 11 children | Family: F17846
|
| 2 | 1st. husband-Jacob Runkel. Married to Jacob Runkel and they went to Manton, Mich. to homestead a farm. He was a blacksmith and was in partnership with George Florence. Many people from Mercer County went to Michigan as the land was cheap. Jacob was clearing land and a log skidded into a sandbank. He lifted it and burst a blood vessel around his heart. The blood slowly leaked and he died a slow death. His baby daughter, Edith was only 8 months old when he died. He left Myrtle at age 10, Foster at age 5, and Harvey at age 3. He worked as a glass blower for awhile in Indiana. Because Jacob was bedfast, Edith would be put on his bed and he would entertain her. After he died, the family had a difficult time as she was used to so much attention. Rosa left Michigan after having a sale of the homestead. Rosa lived with Jacob's father and her own father and then returned to Mercer Co. . She left Michigan and returned to be near her family and lived with her family for a while but her sisters were teenagers and resented her being there so she moved out on her own. She was very poor but had great faith and raised her family in a time when women did not work. She was a midwife, did housekeeping for the sick and aged. She worked at Mersmans Table Co. She would walk quite a way to the barn space she rented, hitch her own buggy and drive to work. Many nights, she stayed up praying for food and necessities for her family and managed to survive until she remarried after WW 1 to George Buschur. Rosa buried five sons and two husbands. Willy and Russell died of complications of measles when Rosa was sick with them herself and a hired girl was caring for them all. Harold was run over by a wagon , Harvey died in a car accident as a teen and Foster died in jail with an attack of pancreatitis. She married Jacob Runkel and he was introduced to her through a cousin by mail. They corresponded while Jake was in the Coast Guard or Merchant Marines. Claudia has a pocket from his uniform with a letter he wrote to Rosa to introduce himself. They experienced many tragedies. Their two first children died at close to the same time ages 4 and 2 years of disease (possible Measels or dyptheria.) . They had a child killed as he was run over by a run-away logging wagon at age 3. She was left a young widow with four children to raise on her own. She was a midwife for Dr. Fishpaw who was a nearby neighbor in Wabash. Her daughter Edith washed bandages and rolled them for Dr. Fishpaw. She and her sister Laura Enyart were very close all their lives. They lived very close in Wabash, Ohio. They shared yeast each baking every other day. Also married to George Buschur whose genealogy is in Mercer Co History 1978 under Sophie, his sister. She and George met while they both worked at Mersmans. He had been a wheat thresher and told by co-workers that his wife was unfaithful. He came home unexpected and caught her with another man. He left and they were divorced. Rosa would not date him or consider marriage because he was a married/divorced and Catholic man. He left to go to World War I. He wrote her the whole time and told her they would marry if he returned. He was gassed in WW I and on disability. He died of Hodgins Disease, a type of cancer of the lymph nodes and probably related to the gas when he was a soldier. When he returned, they married. He was a very good step-father to her children but was never allowed to discipline them as they were 'her children'. Rosa and George had one child together, Mary, a change of life baby. As a young girl, Rosa's mother died leaving a large family of children. Her father never remarried and he raised the family along with his girl's help. Her mother was pregnant and crawled up on a fence to call the father in for lunch from the fields. The gate swung, she fell and later died from the fall and the baby also. Usually men in those times were not expected to raise a family, yet he did it and was a very special person. 1880 Federal Census: Rosa is one year old and living with her parents Jacob and Julie Ann Rush in Liberty Township, Mercer County, Ohio.
