Biography/Organization History
Rosalie Catherine (Rose) Rohr (1877-1978): Rosalie Catherine Rohr, neé Suggs, was born February 24, 1877 to unidentified
parents in Yountville, Napa County, California, and came to Santa Rosa, California, when she was 14 years old. She married
Dr. Silas Martin Rohr, a Santa Rosa physician, in 1898. After the death of her life-long and close friend, Lurline Russell
Mitchell-Howard in 1914, Rosa assumed guardianship over Mitchell-Howard's six orphaned children, Robert Wiley, Richard Seaton,
Frances Russell, James Dudley, Martha and Jaqueline Mitchell. She was a life member of the Saturday Afternoon Club, the Business
and Professional Women's Club, the San Francisco Museum of Art, and the San Francisco Opera Guild. A supporter of agricultural
youth, she presented cash awards for many years to 4-H and FFA members at the Sonoma County Fair. After her death at age 101
on November 15, 1978, she left her $1 million estate to the Sonoma County 4H program, the Future Farmers of America chapters
in Sonoma County, and to two California universities. Her legacy funds the Jarena D. Wright scholarship fund at the University
of the Pacific, Stockton, and the Rosalie C. Rohr scholarship fund at UC Davis, both established in the early 1980s.
