A. J. Rockwood is the owner of one of the fine homes of Roswell, appropriately called Rosebower, and it stands as a visible evidence of his life of well directed energy, for his prosperity has come to him as the reward of persistency of purpose guided by intelligence. Mr. Rockwood was born in Bennington, Vermont, but since three years of age has lived west of the Mississippi, his parents at that time removing to Blue Earth county, Minnesota, near Mankato. There the father, Joseph Rockwood, followed farming until 1870, when he was ordained a minister of the Baptist church and continued active in the work of the gospel until too feeble to continue his labors. He died upon his farm in Minnesota in April, 1904, at which time he and his wife, who bore the maiden name of Rhoda Hurd, were living with their youngest daughter, Hattie, R., the wife of John M. Chapman. The mother died on the home farm. July 26, 1911. A. J. Rockwood of this review has two excellent enlarged pictures of his parents upon the walls of his home.
Upon the old home farm in Minnesota, A. J. Rockwood was reared and in his boyhood days attended the district schools of the neighborhood. He began farming on his own account on a rented tract of land when twenty-five years of age and, carefully saving his earnings, was able five years later to purchase the home farm from his father. This he cultivated until 1900, when he sold the property and came to Roswell, Idaho, at which time he purchased the forty acres of land upon which he has since made his home. The land had not been planted when he took possession and in 1902 he gathered his first crop of grain and now has the place seeded to alfalfa, wheat and blue grass pasture. He has built one of the finest residences, modern in every way and of beautiful style of architecture. It is supplied with every convenience, such as an electric stove, an electric washing machine, electric iron and a hot water system. The road in front of the house is lined by a row of black walnut trees, the seed for which he brought from Minnesota, while a tree of English walnuts nearer the house provides sufficient nuts for the family. There are also other beautiful shade and ornamental trees upon the place, such as weeping willow, boxelder, elm and black locust. Another indication of the adornment of his lawn is found in the name of his home Rosebower. The outbuildings are large arid substantial, in keeping with the fine residence, while the grounds show every care and attention. Along two sides of the house is a broad porch, where as many as one hundred guests have been seated at one time at dinner. The Presbyterian church served its first New Year's dinner at his house in 1906 and since then it has become an annual affair' to which everyone in the community looks forward.
Always an active business man, Mr. Rockwood has most carefully developed his fields and his stock. He now has eight head of registered shorthorns, which he raises and sells for breeding purposes. He has also raised fine hogs and Percheron horses, and the first year that he exhibited his Percherons at the County Fair his were the only registered horses on the grounds. This was in 1901, which fact indicates that Mr. Rockwood was a pioneer in fine stock raising in his section of the state. He brought his Percherons from Minnesota. In Addition to his home place he also owns two other farms of eighty acres each, both under the Boise project, one being planted to alfalfa and wheat, while the other eighty is Just being improved, a portion of it being already planted to alfalfa. He also has another tract of one hundred and sixty acres in the Black canyon district. Mr. Rockwood in addition to his other interests, is a stockholder in the Parma State Bank and he has been a director of the Riverside Irrigation District for twelve years and is president of the company.
In November, 1892, Mr. Rockwood was married to Miss Mary Dilley, of Minnesota, and they are the parents of five children: Edna R., the widow of Henry W. Stark; Elwin J., twenty-four years of age, who is with the United States reclamation service and lives at home; Stella M., the wife of Charles E. Jurries, of Parma; Eunice G., attending the Oregon Agricultural College of Corvallis, Oregon; and Chelsea J., ten years of age, also in school. The son Elwin was a member of the United States Army and had been for sixteen weeks at Camp Eustace, Virginia, when the armistice was signed. Both parents of Mrs. Rockwood have passed away. Her mother died April 16, 1901, at Rochester, Minnesota, and the father August 19, 1905, at Garden City, Minnesota. She has photographs of her direct ancestors for several generations and one photograph, numbering thirty-two people, which was taken at a family Christmas dinner in Minneapolis. She was very active in connection with the Red Cross during the great war and one 6f the large rooms in her home was given over to the use of the Red Cross workers and for the storing of their goods.
Fraternally Mr. Rockwood is connected with the Modern Woodmen of America. He is serving as a member, of the school board of Roswell at the present time and he represented his district in the twelfth session of the state legislature. His activities in behalf of public progress have been pronounced and the results achieved have been most beneficial. He is thoroughly imbued with the progressive spirit of the west and there is no plan or project for the upbuilding of his city or state that does not receive his earnest endorsement and support. The most envious cannot grudge him his success, so honorably has it been won and so worthily used, and Canyon county points to him with pride as one of her leading citizens.
