DELINE ROSE

Deline Rose as portrayed by LaJuanna Faught.

Deline Rose, with her husband, Dr. Pleasant Rose, and their children, came to Texas in 1834 just before the Texas Revolution. She was the mother of 7 children.

She and her husband knew many of the most important people of the era. William Barret Travis, eventual Commander of The Alamo, and General Sam Houston were two of the people she and her family knew. Mrs. Rose enjoyed entertaining and loved attending parties.

Deline suffered through the "Runaway Scrape" in which the woman, children and old men ran for their lives from the Mexican Army. She lost one of her children to illness on that journey as did many other mothers. Deline also became very ill and very nearly lost her life.

Dr. and Mrs. Rose lived in the Houston area after the Revolution.

Deline Rose tells of the humor and the tragedy of early Texas.

Many of our characters intertwine their stories with others of the same period. A good example is William Barret Travis and Deline Rose.
