“Just wait awhile and you will see,” was Louis Rose’s favorite saying.Louis was SD’s first Jewish pioneer, an entrepreneur and the founder of Roseville, a settlement along the bay in Point Loma. Henrietta was his only child to survive infancy…living to the age of 84. The unmarried San Diegan was a long-time teacher whose once unmarked grave was recently found at Mt. Hope Cemetery (nearly 50 years after she was buried). Red-haired Henrietta Rose taught at several schools including Roosevelt Jr High. Her final home was in Normal Heights at the corner of Madison and Arizona. A memorial for Henrietta was held this morning at Mt. Hope with representatives from the school system, the Eastern Star and the Jewish community. Local newsman and historian Ken Kramer will feature Henrietta on NBC’s Channel 7/39 tonight and again on Friday.
