Rose, John F. (Fordyce), (page 1241), farmer, was among the early settlers
of Glasgow township, having settled on the eastern border, in Cooks
valley, in 1857. He was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, November 12, 1823,
and was reared there. His parents were George and Nancy Rose. He assisted
his father on the farm and as clerk in a store till he reached maturity.

Edmund and Mary (Moser) Johnson. Mrs. Rose was born July 16, 1823. Both

as a member of the Glasgow town board, and was elected county treasurer by
the republicans in 1862, and re-elected in 1864, serving four successive
years. There are five children of this family; mention of the eldest is
