It was because of the abundance of wild roses which grew there that the old name of "Whiskey Creek" was changed by Janet to "Rose Prairie." Janet was always busy clearing land, making hay, gardening, conning and making soap. She also knitted and sewed clothes for the children, herself and Mike.
Janet helped organize the Rose Prairie Women's Institute and a school for the Community. She was also secretary of the community Club, first club in the district, which was later replaced by the Women's Institute.
The Marshall's were residents of White Rock for a time but eventually returned to this area. Mike predeceased Janet in 1968. Janet lived on until April 23,1981.
