Information from Jinny in March 2007: Grover Donald Rose born 12-22 or 12-23 1888 near Manitou, Missaukee County, Michigan, married 8-16-1915 to Lois B**, died 12-15-1982 in La Grange, IL. Regarding the wavering birthday, Jinny said: If we gave Dad a present on Dec. 22 he would say, "Very nice, but what are you going to do for my birthday tomorrow?" Same thing if we decided to give him something on Dec. 23, his birthday was already over. This went on for years, so I just kept both dates. He was a twin, just says, "I was the one that lived--and still am!" I don't have Daniel's dates.
