Jackson Herald, Jan., 1909

"John Rose was born in Lawrence County, December 27, 1838, died January 2, 
1909, aged 70 years, 6 days. (F.R.)  He was married to Catherine Carpenter 
September 17, 1861.  (F.R.)  To this union was born 8 children, two of whom 
died in infancy, and Winifred who died in 1894, aged 32 years.  Five survive 
him.  He enlisted in the Civil War in 1862.  Served three years, returned home 
in 1865 with an honorable discharge.  He was a brave soldier.  He again united 
in marriage to Julia Yates in 1884.  To this union was born 12 children, 4 of 
whom died in infancy.  He joined the M.E. church at Etna Furnace in 1883.  
Since that time he lived in close communion with God.  During the last three 
weeks of his life he spent his time praying and rejoicing, often telling 
them "all is well; I am saved, don't mourn for me when I'm gone, rejoice, I'm 
going home."  A few hours before death he sang, "Jesus can make a dying bed 
feel soft as downy pillows are".  Father we miss thee, oh we miss thee."
