147 FRAZIER ROSENKRANS, son of Asa, was born in Sussex Co., N. J., March 28, 1813, being twenty-four years of age when his father located on a farm near Elgin, Ill., 1837. A short time after that he returned to Sussex on a visit among relatives, when the writer, then a small boy, saw him at his father's house. After his return to Ill., the sad news came to us that he was drowned in a river. His sister, Mrs. Jennie R.. Hawes, reports the circumstance of his drowning as follows: " that while bathing in the river with others he lost his life in saving that of his brother Garrett. He was the only one of the company who could swim and when Garrett went into a deep hole in the river Frazier swam to him, brought him to solid bottom and then disappeared. In the dusk and confusion it was not noticed that Frazier was gone for some time. He was found at the bottom of the hole on his knees." She says: "I have a dim recollection of the strange box that stood in the big room and that is all I can recall." Frazier was a great favorite in my father's family and the sad accident which befel him after his return home has been often spoken of in our family. As he was found on his knees after death we trust that his last thoughts while living on earth were a petition to the Father of Mercies, who never turns a deaf ear to the supplications of those who trust in Him and call upon His name and that his coming forth from the grave at the last day will be to "everlasting life."

Sussex Co., N. J., Sept. 14, 1818. He went with his parents to Steuben Co., N. Y., and to Elgin, Ill, 1837. His biography is given by his sister, Mrs. Jennie R. Hawes as follows: "Brother Halsey, the fourth child in my father's family, born Sept. 14, 1818, in New Jersey, was a very successful physician and surgeon. He practiced for many years in Texas, was there when the war began; was a stanch Union man, and so free to express his devotion to the stars and stripes that he was forced to leave the State. He went to New Orleans, which was then in the hands of the Union forces, and was appointed surgeon for hospital duty, in which capacity he continued to serve until the close of the war. Subsequently he returned to Texas and resumed practice in the same community where he had previously lived. He was a very successful yellow fever physician. He passed through several epidemics of that dread disease and never lost but two cases. Dr. Rosenkrans was twice married. His first wife was Miss Eliza Hale, by whom he had three children. Mrs. Rosenkrans died in New Orleans, in 1863. The Dr. was again married in 1873, to Miss Cynthia E. Bowen. Dr. Rosenkrans was an able writer, contributing many articles of merit to the medical journals, and other publications. While on a visit to one of his daughters, who resided in Texas, he lost his life in the terrible storm which swept over Indiandla, Texas, carrying death to so many, the evening of August 20, 1886." Dr. Halsey's children, all by his first wife, were: Fannie, Lizzie and Casa. His widow still lives in Elgin, Ill. 150 GARRETT ROSENKRANS, son of Asa (68), was born in Sussex Co., N. J., April 1, 1820. He went with his parents to Illinois 1837, and subsequently lived in the city of Elgin. He remained unmarried and died Sept. 10, 1890. He was one of Elgin's most useful and representative men. The following is a part of his obituary copied from the public press of Elgin: "By the death of Garrett Rosenkrans Elgin loses another of its landmarks. Coming here with his parents in 1837, he has ever since been closely identified with our town and city. The deceased was one of the best known citizens of Elgin. Forty years ago he was an active member of the Young Men's Association, an organization that did much to educate and uplift by various means. The association carried on a library and had lecture courses, bringing to us such celebrities as Horace Greeley, Wendell Phillips, Edward Everett, James Russell Lowell, Bayard Taylor, and others. Mr. Rosenkrans was for many years city surveyor and town assessor, only giving up when health failed. He always took an active part in affairs. He was a stanch Republican, and

a close observer of political matters. In local measures he was ever watchful. He was a man of the highest integrity and excellent

judgment. He was a director in the Home National Bank for many years. His history is closely connected with the growth and prosperity of our city. The community feels his loss deeply, and sympathizes with his afflicted relatives."
