JOHN E. ROSSON.—An enterprising and prosperous representative of business
interests in Calexico is John E. Rosson, and is an active factor in the
commercial circles of Imperial Valley. Mr. Rosson was born in Green County,
Missouri, February 17, 1845, a son of A. P. and Nancy (Overton) Rosson, both
deceased. The subject of this sketch had little chance for education. He
assisted on the home place. After leaving home he farmed in Mississippi,
Arkansas, Idaho and Texas. This vocation he followed up to ten years ago. In
October, 1911, he came to California and to Imperial County. He started the
present business—soda works—and has since been identified with the business. Mr.
Rosson was twice married; to the first union there were born three children, and
to the second were born two children. His son, John, is a farmer near Calexico;
James W. resides in Calexico, and Lizzie, wife of D. A. Waters, lives in
Northern California. Mr. Rosson is a member of the Masonic and Odd Fellows
lodges of Texas. Mr. Rosson has many friends and acquaintances in Imperial Valley.
