Death Roll
Charles A. Rose
     Charles A. Rose a well-know businessman of Cuba, died early Wednesday
morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Clarence Neil, at No. 25 First
Avenue, Olean.  He had been in failing health for some time, and about six
weeks ago underwent an operation at the Olean General Hospital.
     He was born in the Town of Lyndon, April 8, 1858, the son of Truman and
Clarissa Foster Rose.  His wife was Leila Cole of this vicinity.  The family
has always lived near Cuba and in the village for many years.  Mrs. Rose died
a number of months ago.
     Formerly a farmer, Mr. Rose had been in the motor oil business of late
years and owned a prosperous filling station on East Main Street.  It is
recalled that he said he began his connection with the oil business as a small
boy nearly 70 years ago when he skimmed a quart of oil off the Seneca Oil
Spring and sold it for medical use.
     Mr. Rose is survived by seven children: Ernest, Rochester; John V.,
Helix, Ore.; Ada, Mrs. Neil, above mentioned; Myrtal Rose, Dundee; Genevieve,
Mrs. DeWitt Dewey, Brooklyn; Marion, Mrs. Robert P. Kelsey, Lockport; and Miss
Ruth Irene Rose, Brooklyn.
     He also leaves a sister, Mrs. Charles Thrall of Maple Street, a brother,
Edward Rose of Franklinville, and 19 grandchildren.
     The remains will be brought from the home of Mrs. Neil Friday morning to
the Pettit Funeral Home on South Street, where the funeral will be held that
afternoon at 2, conducted by Rev. Clair Malcomson, with burial in Cuba
Cemetery.
