Rose, Justus G., (page 1242), eldest son of above subject (John F. Rose),
was born at Senecaville, Guernsey county, Ohio, February 7, 1846. Since
eleven years of age most of his life has been passed on Minnesota farms.
Besides a fair common-school training here, he spent six months in
Eastman's business colleges at Poughkeepsie and Chicago. August 27, 1864,
he entered the Union army, being then in his nineteenth year, and served
till the close of the civil war, as a recruit in Co. C., 4th Minn. Vols.
He bore a part in Sherman's march to the sea and to Richmond, but was in
no heavy engagements. He participated in several skirmishes, and witnessed
the burning of Columbia, South Carolina. He was discharged in June, 1865,
and returned to Minnesota. September 23, 1873, he married Mary A.,
daughter of Daniel Metzgar, whose history is elsewhere given in this work.
Two sons and a like number of daughters have blessed this union, and are
called Clifford Homer, William Clyde, Mattie May and Nannie Maud. Mr. Rose
has always upheld the principles of the republican party, and subscribes
to the faith of the Methodist Episcopal church.
