While Rose Ann's parents and 4 of her siblings were born in County Antrim, Ireland, Rose Ann was born in Marissa, St. Clair County, Illinois about March of 1855. Her parents were Thomas Smith, Jr. and Rose (Getty) Gibson.
Rose Ann married William Steward Woodside on February 3, 1876, in Swanwick, Perry County, Illinois. They spent most of their married life farming in Perry County where Rose Ann gave birth to 2 sons and 1 daughter: John Thomas, William J., and Annie. Sometime between 1881 and 1886 they moved to Greenville, Bond County, Illinois. Rose Ann gave birth to her 4th child, an unnamed son, on June 18, 1886. Rose Ann died shortly after the birth of her son. The cause of death is listed as "childbirth", 35 hours. According to the death record, she was moved to St. Clair for burial. I have not yet found the grave but believe she is probably buried with her Smith family.
