In 1860 the Ochs family lived in Simpsonville, Kentucky where Nathan was a merchant. By 1870 the couple owned a farm in Elk Creek in Spencer County, Kentucky. Rose and Nathan's children were Simeon (later known as Simon), Charles, Sallie, Rose, Bettie, Henry, Leon, and Helena. Simeon was born in Württemberg, the remaining children in Kentucky. Simon became a school teacher, first in Little Mount, then in Louisville.
The following is from the book, The History of Spencer County, Kentucky, by Mary Francis McClain Brown (1990):
"In 1885 [Rose Ochs] died and B.F. Hungerford, a Baptist minister, delivered the funeral sermon in his inimitable manner. Quoting, in part ‘She was a native of Germany and with her husband and son then a mere babe, emigrated to this country, made it the land of their adoption and chose our citizens as their life-long neighbors and friends. Among you as strangers in a strange land, they cast their home and reared their children. and now like Abraham of old, who buried his beloved Sarah among those of a different faith and nation, they come to bury their departed one among you of a different faith, but nevertheless kindred in sympathy and the strong tie of common humanity.
She was of Jewish parentage and was reared and educated in the Jewish faith and in this faith she died. She trusted in the God of their fathers, in the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, and with David she could say, ‘I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my Fortress, my God, and Him will I trust.' and dear friends, although her religious training and convictions were different from ours, yet is there not in God's Word some common ground of faith, underlying all these differences when all may unite? And cannot both Jew and Gentile because of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, because of our one heavenly Father, adapt the significant words of Ruth and Naomi? Thy people shall be my people, Thy God my God; where thou diest I will die; and there will I be buried.'"
