Biography
Henrietta Rose was born on 25 September 1868 in Germany to Henry Rose and Mary (nee Tubbesing), and immigrated to the United States before her marriage. She married Henry David Christian Eggers and settled in Jefferson County, Missouri, where they raised six children. The 1920 census (Meramec Twp, Jefferson Co) lists "Henrette" (age 54, born Germany) in Henry Dan's household. Henrietta died on 23 January 1937 in St. Louis, Missouri, and is buried at Local Cedar Hill Cemetery, Cedar Hill, Jefferson County.
Tubbesing family connection. Henrietta's mother Mary Tubbesing likely belonged to the Tubbesing family of Dittmer, Jefferson County. Friedrich Wilhelm Tubbesing (b. 1830, Borgholzhausen, Westphalia; d. 1890, Dittmer) arrived on the ship Hermann from Bremen on November 16, 1853, and is buried at Saint Martins UCC Cemetery, the same church where the Eggers family baptism records are held. The Tubbesing family of Missouri originated in Ravensberg, Westphalia (Borgholzhausen). Whether Mary Tubbesing was Friedrich Wilhelm's sister, daughter, or more distant relation is unconfirmed.
Immigration record status. No passenger manifest or naturalization record has been found for Henrietta. The Missouri death certificate (1937, St. Louis) at the State Archives may list her immigration year. The Saint Martins UCC church records (FamilySearch microfilm 2047661) may contain marriage or other records with immigration data.
