Cleveland Crosby Roscoe was born April 30, 1885 in Saline County, Nebraska. He was the oldest son of William and Lena Roscoe.
From what I've been told about Cleve, his wife was Josephine and they didn't have any children. I'm finding some other things that are interesting - in the 1930 census record Cleve's age at his first marriage was 22, but in 1920 he was single (he was 35). At familysearch.org I found a marriage record for a "C C Roscoe", son of William, married to Anna Cardst or Cordot on November 23, 1909 in Council Bluffs, Iowa (he was 24). I haven't been able to find him in the 1910 census. But I have found a marriage record in Jackson County, Missouri for Cleve Roscoe and Josephine Cox on June 3, 1921.
During WWI he served in France. In 1920 he was stationed at Camp Stanley in Bexar, Texas. He worked for the Kansas City Police Department and was a special agent for the Wabash Railroad. He lived in Kansas City for about 20 years, then moved back to Nebraska.
Cleve was involved in a traffic accident on June 16, 1961 at the intersection of Highways 77 and 33 south of Lincoln. On June 28 he died from his injuries. He was preceded in death by his wife and 5 brothers, survived by 2 sisters and "a number of nieces and nephews". He was 76 years old and is buried in the Lincoln Memorial Park in Lincoln, Nebraska.
