  Miss Jennie Rose, the capable and efficient clerk of the district court of
Johnson county, is a typical representative of the progressive women of Kansas,
who are doing things in the political and industrial world. Miss Rose is a
native daughter of Johnson county and her parents, W. M. and Martha L.
(Lewellyn) Rose are natives of Illinois and Iowa, respectively, and early
settlers in Johnson county. The mother, Martha L. Lewellyn is a daughter of T.
J. Lewellyn, who settled in Johnson county in the early sixties. Mr. and Mrs.
Rose now reside in Olathe. Miss Rose was educated in the district schools,
attending No. 14, and later attended the Ottawa High School. She then entered
Ottawa University and was graduated from that institution, and after completing
a general course there took a course in the commercial department. She then
engaged in stenographic work in Kansas City, Mo., and from there came to Olathe
and engaged in public stenographic work and did mostly law work and some court
reporting. She then served as deputy clerk of the district court, and in the
fall of 1914 received the nomination for clerk in the district court on the
Republican ticket, and was elected by a very satisfactory majority. She is a
member of the Baptist church and her genial manner and inclination to serve the
public faithfully and efficiently has made her many friends.
