Roseboom, Garrett (page 757), formerly engaged in agricultural pursuits in
Zumbro Township, was born in New Jersey, September 23, 1848. In 1862 he
came to Wabasha County, Minn., with his parents, Ares and Elizabeth
Roseboom, who settled in Zumbro Township, and until 1864 he worked for his
father. After that for several years he did farm labor, working for
others. In 1868 Mr. Roseboom started in for himself as an independent
farmer, buying 80 acres in section 35, Zumbro Township, and building a
house on his land. There he was engaged in general farming and stock
raising until his death on November 15, 1886. Mr. Roseboom was married
January 15, 1878, to Louis Renoux, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Renoux.
Her parents were natives of France who came to America in 1845, settling
near Lake City, Minn., on a small farm. Mr. Renoux dying in the following
year, his wife subsequently operated the farm and reared her family. They
had seven children: Mary, Victoria (deceased), Joseph, Louisa, Emma and
Alice (twins), and Harriett. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Roseboom,
all now living, are as follows: Nathaniel A., born October 22, 1880; John
J., born February 28, 1883, now residing in Olmsted County; Lydia H., born
February 28, 1885, who is the wife of Arley Disney of Olmsted County; and
Garrett, born July 14, 1887, who is operating the home farm for his
mother, who has conducted it with the assistance of her sons since her
husband's death. She has improved the place by the erection of a barn and
outbuildings, and also bought 80 additional acres of land in section 36.
The farm is now well improved and the family prosperous and respected.
