     Rev. Jehu Rose was born June 6, 1832, in Lawrence County, Ohio and died in 
Gallipolis, Ohio March 3, 1905, aged seventy-two years, eight months and twenty 
seven days.  His early life was spent on a farm where he worked in the summer 
and attended the district school in the winter.  By industry, economy and self 
denial, he succeeded in securing the means of furthering his education, and 
when he had gotten all that the county school had to give, he attended school 
at Albany, Ohio, and there qualified himself to teach and followed that 
profession for a number of years, becomming a leading educator.  He was married

1884.  To this union were born eight children.  June 18, 1885, he was united in 
marriage with Mrs. Harriet Hamilton who survives him.

present at the Battle of Nashville, one of the hotly contested battles of the 
war.  It was in the service of his country that he contracted the disease with 
which he suffered ever since, and which caused his death.  He was graciously 
converted to Christ at a campmeeting held at Flag Springs, Gallia County, Ohio 
in the summer of 1848; joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, and remained a 
consistent member till his death, having spent fifty-seven years in the service 
of the Lord.
