DANIEL ROSE, FABACHER.--Daniel Rose was born in Ashtabula county, Ohio,
November, 1823.  He died in Acadia parish, Louisiana, February, 1890.  He was
the son of Abner and Cynthia A. (Simons) Rose, both natives of Massachusetts. 
The Rose family were among the pioneer settlers of what is known as the
Western Reserve of Ohio.  The family is of English descent.  Abner Rose, the
father of our subject, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.  He was a
cooper and farmer by trade, and followed this in Ohio.

The subject of this sketch was the oldest of a family of eleven children,
seven sons and four daughters.  The father died in 1884, at the age of
ninety-two years, and the mother in 1886, at the age of ninety-one.  Both were
members of the Congregational church.  The subject of this sketch began life
at the age of eighteen years as the advance agent of Robinson's circus.  In
this he was engaged for thirty-four years, not this full time, however, with
one circus.  March 9, 1868, he was married to Miss Maria Ginett, a lady of
English birth, who came to America in 1863.  Becoming dissatisfied with the
life of a traveler, and longing for the comforts of a quiet home, Mr. Rose, in
1877, bought a large tract of land in Acadia parish, Louisiana, and locating
there, engaged in rice culture.  At the time of his death he owned one
thousand acres of land, with three hundred and fifty in cultivation.  He was a
prominent member of the Masonic fraternity.  Mr. Rose was a gentleman much
honored by those who knew him well, and in his death the parish sustained the
loss of a good citizen.  To him and wife was born one daughter, Chattie, an
accomplished young lady.
