Roseboom, John J. (page 758), well known in Zumbro Township, where for a
number of years he was engaged extensively in agriculture, though now a
resident of Olmsted county, was born in Zumbro Township, Wabasha county,
February 28, 1883, son of Garrett and Louisa (Renoux) Roseboom. He was
educated in the district school, and after his father's death in 1886
worked for his mother on the home farm until 1897. Then he and his
brothers rented the farm for two years, and were associated together
subsequently in farming operations until 1919, operating 520 acres in
Wabasha and Olmsted Counties. In 1919 John J. Roseboom bought 120 acres in
Olmsted County, where he is now engaged in general farming and stock
raising. He has built a barn and machine-shed and put his new property
into good condition. He was married June 20, 1906, to May R. Cooke,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cooke of Rochester. Of this union three
children have been born: Mildred L., October 21, 1908; Clifton J., August
14, 1909; and Percy, February 19, 1916.
