Genealogy rockstars - all of you! Haggis and a dram are on me when I'm in Nairnshire hopefully autumn of 2016.
I've attached a photo of said family tree. My great uncle Alexander Fraser Rose commissioned it. The lineages on it are Rose, Fraser and Patten. Perhaps it will help someone else in their research.
I was incorrect about the tree not having any source information. Zoom into the bottom right corner for that.
MonicaL - The most complete transcription I found for that cenotaph was about 2 weeks ago.

Bemidji Daily Pioneer, 15 June 1912
Man Who Died Two Weeks Ago Succumbs to Typhoid Fever.
GRANDSON IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION
Mrs. David Rose of Northome, died last evening at St. Anthony's hospital, typhoid fever being the cause of her death.
Mrs. Rose was born in Nairn, Nairnshire, Scotland, in 1844, and was 68 years old at the time of her death. She was married to David Rose while in Scotland and several years later they moved to America, making their home near Herman and later at Deer River. From there they went to Northome, her present home, by canoe, there being no other means of getting there. She was one of the pioneer women of Northome.
Two weeks ago her husband died of typhoid fever and a week later she contracted the disease. She was taken to the St. Anthony's hospital in Bemidji at once and everything possible was done for her but of no avail. The body will be taken to Northome tomorrow morning and the funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon from her home on Island Lake, four miles of Northome.
Mrs. Rose is survived by four sons, Alex of Minneapolis, Dan of this city, John and David of Northome, and by two daughters, Sophia Guptill and Jessie Cross, both of Northome.
Alex Rose arrived in the city yesterday and will go on to Northome in the morning. Mrs. Rose's little grandson, David, who has been making his home with her for some time past is now in St. Anthony's hospital, he also being sick with the fever. [Little David is David E Rose, son of Daniel. He was age 6 and his mother had died 2 years prior which was undoubtedly the reason he was being raised by his grandparents. He did not survive. He died 14 July 1912.]
Dan Rose of this city, father of little David, is also in a serious condition with typhoid. [Dan survived. He died in 1953, age 79.]
