YES!!!!!! Yes Rose was a lesbian after her divorce from a man. When she was 16/17, she was sent to Louisiana for a year to do a final year of High School where Eliza Jane Wilder lived. DeSmet, SD had a weak High School education that kind of ended academically at age 16. Rose was a very gifted student and reader. While there, she supposedly started to date her male tutor, and lost her virg inity to him, and continued "relations" with the tutor until she returned to DeSmet a year later. Very dangerous, as there wasn't really much Birth Control in 1899, 1900. Rose worked as a telegrapher in a hotel somewhere, and that is where she met her future husband Gillett Lane. Evidently, he could not hold down a decent paying job throughout the 5-8 year marriage. They were traveling in SLC, when she was 6 months pregnant. They were staying in a SLC hotel (since torn down), when she was rushed to a nearby hospital (the chapel is still there) and her son was still-born at 6 months gestation. After this trauma (Caroline, Laura, and Rose all lost their only sons)- supposedly the family had genetic diabetes. major malnutrition and rotten teeth, Rose stayed married a couple of more years, and divorced her husband after her mother left from her 1915 San Fran. visit. Supposedly Rose had a hysterectomy right after the still birth in 1909 for some reason. After this, she had a total break down, was bipolar, and seemingly realized she was a lesbian. She cut her hair super short, almost a buzz cut- very butch!!!!). Years later, she moved back to her parents farmhouse in Missouri, built a very small, but extremely expensive rock house (at 4-5 times the cost of what it should have been!) for her parents, and was living with her lesbian lover with famous author Helen Dore Boylston in the parent's from house for years. Laura and Almanzo must have known about this, and were probably ashamed. Caroline Ingalls had 4 living children, and only 1 grandchild (Rose). Laura and Almanzo never had "relations" again after their child died at only 9 weeks of seizures or something. Laura was only about 21 and Almanzo 31. Laura was only 4'11" and Almanzo only 5'4"! (Laura's sister Carrie was supposedly only 4'8'"). They were an extremely short family, severe prairie malnutrition. Laura and Almanzo sl ept in tiny, narrow beds (even smaller than twin mattress) in the same bedrooms, but in beds on opposite sides of the wall.
