The Enterprise-Chronicle, Thursday, June 1, 1939 June 1, 1939
A Birthday Party For Lyndon Editor.
Oscar J. ROSE, editor of the Lyndon Herald, who as he says was "that squalling
infant, destined to become your editor and who yelped his way into the world on
May 19," was the recipient of a surprise party in celebration of his birthday,
which was attended by all his family except one granddaughter, her husband and
daughter.
The editor also furnished his readers with the following concise autobiography:
"Oscar J. Rose was born at Mendon, Mich., May 19, 1869, and had therefore lived
three score years and ten. For more than 70 years he has managed to stay out of
jail, off the county, and out of political office. He learned the craft of
printer while attending school and in 1887 went into the publishing business for
himself as editor and publisher of the Courier at Paxico, Wabaunsee county,
Kansas. Later he edited the Eskridge Star for ten years, then bought and edited
the Waverly Gazette for 17 years. During and for a time after the World War, he
did other work at Topeka and Chicago, and reembarked in the newspaper busines at
Lyndon in November, 1921. He is one of those rare and peculiar publishers who
dislike politics and has always believed that a man was better off running his
own business, even, if it is a very small one, than in holding any political job."
