Obituary for Pleasant T. Rose, Hardin County, Illinois Pleasant T. Rose, an old timer of Blackbird, died at 6 o'clock Tuesday December 8th. of chronic Bright's disease. The funeral was held in the Methodist Church Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. E.C. Crabtree officiating. The deceased was an uncle of Wiley J. Rose and a cousin of William A and George Rose; well known residents of this county. He had been failing from this disease for the past three years, and that lately came to Salmon for the sake of better nursing and medical care. Everything that was possible was done for him. Wiley and Goerge , his mining partners, remained constantly at his side during the last three weeks of life, during which time he suffered a great deal. But his sufferings are ended. Pleasant Rose came to Lamni Co. 26 years ago, and has resided here ever since, devoting his energies to mining most of the time. He and his relatives here mentioned have been associated as partners in an extensive group of cooper claims in Blackbird district. He was a noble citizen, full of manly qualities, and esteemed by a numerous host of friends. He was honest, upright, steady in habits and great in the gift of extending good will. As Addison remarked, " the quality of grateful appreciation is the distinguished mark of a gentleman,: so Pleasnat Rose proved his very gentlemanly characteristic by his steadfastness to his friends. There is scarcely a grander enconium to be pronounced upon the human character than this. Besides his relatives above mentions, he leaves two sisters, Mrs Manerva Dossett of 808 Levitt St. Chicago, IL and Mrs Cassie Lavender of Elizabethtown, Illinois.
