There is a lot more about Rose Ellen scattered through the Hatch Family Album, but here's a little but about her.
When Ephraim and Rose Ellen Hatch settled in Woods Cross, they built a red brick ho use, in the center of town, with a small dairy, chickens, and a very fine apple orchard. Later they built the farmhouse pictured here, located in the southwest part of Woods Cross. This farm included a large dairy of about 20 cows, hay, grain, potatoes, and garden produce.
In this second house, the "farmhouse," Rose Ellen cooked three meals a day for 70 men working at the nearby Hatch Brickyard, managed by their son, Parley. She employed several girls in addition to her daughters, Minnie, Nellie, and Rhoana. Russell Hatch later said he could recall them peeling potatoes by the tubful. Rose Ellen was an extremely good organizer and business-woman in addition to being a marvelous cook. Russell remembered, as a young boy, pulling a wagon full of bottled root beer his mother had made with her hops over to the brickyard to sell to the workers there. He said it "sold like hotcakes," and they wished he had more.
When the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad installed their rails through Woods Cross, they failed to secure the right of way through the Hatch property east of this house. Rose Ellen stopped the track laying until they had secured the right of way and she also insisted on a higher price for the land than her neighbors received.
