Rose already suffered from a thryroid condition, and this time Dr. Frock diagnosed Rose with pneumonia and left some pills for her. One afternoon, Rose's Sister Emma went in the bedroom to see Rose, and Rose asked Emma to play the piano for her. Emma was pleased, as Rose had encouraged Emma to take the same correspondence piano course Rose had finished. Emma sat down at the old upright piano and played her renditions of "The Black Hawk Waltz," "Reverie," "Rustic Dance," "The Black Hawk Waltz," and "Falling Waters." When Emma went back into the bedroom, Rose said, "Thanks for playing for me. You are doing well, and I want you to keep on practicing." Those were Rose's last words she spoke to Emma. The next day Mama Adele called out frantically, "Emma, come in here and help me with Rose. I can't wake her up to give her the pills. You rub her legs while I rub her arms." Mama Adele and Sister Emma worked hard to wake her, but it didn't help, and Rose quietly stopped breathing. Rose Florence Ruby died at 17 years of age from pneumonia. *Biography Facts Courtesy of "Prairie Rattlers, Long Johns and Chokecherry Wine: Memoirs from the Silent Prairie" (ISBN: 1-4137-0053-5), authored by Emma L. (born Ruby) Willey, the eleventh of Adele (born Schmale) Ruby's twelve children.
