Long Time
Welfare Worker
Leaves Post
Mrs. Lottie "Rosencrans Who Hasin the field in hich they are teach-
Been Active in Welfare Work
Since 1916 Resigns.
With the passing of August Mrs.
Lottie Rosencrans terminated a ser
vice that has been devoted to wel
fare and relief work in this commun
ity since 1916, tasks that have been
filled with responsibility and cares.
Only those who are familiar with
the workings of this line of activity
can appreciate just how arduous has
been the tasks that have faced the
director and especially in the last few
years.
Mrs. Rosencrans first entered the
American Red Cross in 1916 when
the shadows of war were commencing
to menace the country and she was
made secretary, serving in the war
days when the organization was one
of the most active in the country. She
has continued in the Red Cross work
to this time. " " " j
With the depression years the work i
of the Associated Charities also de-'
volved on Mrs. Rosencrans and which
was effectively handled until absorb
ed in other relief work.
In September 1929 she was ap
pointed as probation officer for the
county and which included school and
other delinquency cases and welfare
work with the children whether in
school or not and in which she was
in touch with the county superin
tendent of schools as well as the dis-
trict court in the juvenile section of
the court
inis work also included
work as attendance officer for the
sheriff which involved cases affect
ing women and children. A large
number of girls and boys have been
paroled to Mrs. Rosencrans in her
years of service.
She was appointed federal relief
director in July 1934 by the board of
county commissioners, this included
among the tasks that of helping the
county board create projects in every
town in the county for men and
women a:id handling the peak relief
load of 350 persons in the county,
which continued until June 1935
when new setups were arranged.
The federal work was continued
with Mrs. Rosencrans active in the
organizing of the projects and one of
which has proven one of the most
successful activities in the county,
that of the Cass county sewing cen
ter. Mrs. Rosencrans in 1935 gave
up her office rooms in the basement
of the court house for the use of this
project and which is now in active
operation and is the largest of its
kind in the state outside of Omaha
and Lincoln.
In January 1937 in order to receive
the benefits of state and federal funds
Mrs. Rosencrans was appointed to
take charge of re-registration and the
budgeting of the county order sys
tem. Under her handling the relief work
has been placed on a real budget sys
tem and handled in a business like
and efficient manner.
