ROSE, John A.

Page 250:

John A. Rose, deceased, was a son of Andrew W. and Ormilla (Perry) Rose.
His parents were pioneers of the State of New York, where they passed their
lives engaged in farming. John A. was born in Ulster Co., N. Y., March 13,
1821. He was an inmate of the paternal home until 24 years of age. His
circumstances were such that he was never able to attend school a single
day in his life; but gathered together such education as he could, and made
the most of all his powers of observation, quickened into keenness by his
consciousness of his lack of early opportunities. He came to Michigan in
November, 1866, and purchased 120 acres of land, on which he resided until
his death, which occurred Aug., 10, 1875. Since that event Mrs. Rose has
sold 80 acres and with the assistance of her sons carries on the remainder.

Mr. Rose was married Nov. 8, 1844, in Aurora, Erie Co., N. Y., to Emily E.,
daughter of Amasa and Polly (Welch) Freeman, natives respectively of New
York and Connecticut. She was born in Onondaga Co., N. Y., June 16, 1817.
After marriage Mr. and Mrs. Rose settled in Erie Co., where they were
engaged in farming until their removal to Michigan. All of the seven
children born of this marriage yet survive. Emily E., was born Aug. 19,
1845; John T., July 5, 1847; Levi A., March 16, 1849; Theo L., June 27,
1851; Polly, Dec. 13, 1853; Rosetta, Aug. 24, 1857; and Andrew J., Nov. 22,
1859.
