E. E. ROSE was born in Washington County, Tenn., May 25, 1825. John and Mary
Rose, his parents, were natives of South Carolina and Tennessee respectively,
and of Scotch lineage. In 1832, the family removed to Indiana, and engaged in
farming in Clay County. E. E. Rose was raised on this farm, and in conjunction
with the duties of a farmer boy, attended the district schools, afterward taking
an academic course at Bowling Green. When twenty years old, he became a disciple
of Blackstone in the office of his brother, Allan T. Rose, but after a few
months gave this up for the time. He enlisted as a private for the Mexican war
in May, 1846, in Company C, Second Indiana Volunteers, his brigade commander
being Gen. Lane, and his corps commander Gen. Taylor. He was a participant in
the battle of Buena Vista, and was discharged with a Sergeant's chevrons in
July, 1847. He began the study of medicine, but in 1848 was admitted to practice
law, and the same year joined the Methodist Episcopal Church and immediately
began preparing for the ministry. In 1850, he was ordained, and subsequently
followed the dictates of his conscience by preaching the Gospel at various
places for a number of years. In 1860, he located in Bloomfield, and for the
second time embarked in the practice of law, at the same time editing and
publishing the Greene County Times. In June, 1861, he became Captain of Battery
C, First Indiana Heavy Artillery, and serving as such was in the engagements of
Teche, Donaldsonville and Port Hudson. In 1868, he was a Presidential elector,
and also a member of the Electoral College, where he cast his vote for Gen.
Grant. Capt. Rose is a member of the National party, and the Masonic and Odd
Fellow fraternities. He was married to Ellen Elliot August 19, 1847, and five of
their seven children are yet living. As an attorney, Capt. Rose ranks among the
first, and is in partnership with his son-in-law, Emerson Short.
