Frederick Rose, harness-maker, at Big Rapids, was born in Germany, June 3,
1823.  At the age of 14 he entered upon his apprenticeship, and after a
service of three years enlisted in the German army, enrolling in 1843 and
remaining four years and three months.

Mr. Rose came to America in 1854, and settled at Buffalo, N. Y., where he
established himself in business and remained about 18 months.  He next went
to Waterloo, Co., Canada, and there carried on his business 15 years.  In
1872 he came to Big Rapids and formed a business connection with Duncan
McClellan, which existed 14 months.  Since that date he has managed the
same line of trade where he is now located and employs several men.  His
annual transactions amount to $3,000, and includes harness-making and
saddlery, carriage trimming, etc.  He owns his own residence on the corner
of Sanford avenue and Division street, and 66 acres of land in the township
of Big Rapids, southeast of the city located on the river.

Mr. Rose was married March 18, 1854, in Germany, to Wilhelmina Augstell,
and they have had two children: Matilda, wife of Cyrus Brecker, a Canadian
merchant; and Margaret, wife of John Hoffman, a harness-maker in Canada.
