   F. E. ROSE, proprietor of the large hotel at Lopez, this county, has been
  untiring in his efforts to please his guests, and the large patronage which he
  enjoys speaks for the success of his undertaking. No hotel in that section
  stands so high in the estimation of the traveling public. Mr. Rose was born
  March 18, 1870, at Hop Bottom, Susquehanna county, Pennsylvania, and is a son of
  Henry and Eliza (Birch) Rose. Henry Rose was born near Montrose, Susquehanna
  county, and received an education in the common schools. While quite young he
  began to support himself, working at whatever came in his way. After his
  marriage to Miss Eliza Birch, of his native county, he engaged in railroad
  contracting until his death.
  
      F. E. Rose was but a little child when his father died. His education was
  acquired in the country schools, and at the age of seventeen he went to Luzerne
  county, where he secured employment and remained three years. He then located in
  Wyoming county and worked as a lumberman. Shortly after this, he purchased a
  portable sawmill, which he moved from place to place doing contracting and
  custom work. He continued this industry until the spring of 1898, when he
  disposed of the business and rented the Jackson property, where he is conducting
  the hotel business with flattering success. He has accommodations for about
  ninety guests, and has spared neither trouble nor expense to bring the cuisine
  up to its present excellent basis.
  
      Mr. Rose is a Republican, but in local elections believes the best plan is
  to support the best man, regardless of party. He was made an Odd Fellow in
  Wyoming Lodge, No. 767, in the year 1891, and in 1898 became a member of the Red
  Men at Bernice. He was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Huffman, at
  Phillipsburg, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania. She died, leaving three children:
  Edna, who makes her home with her grandparents in Wyoming county; Fannie and
  Hattie, who are with their father. Mr. Rose then led to the altar Miss Lulu
  Duke, of Nanticoke, the wedding being solemnized in Wilkesbarre. She is the
  daughter of Reuben and Rhoda (Slyker) Duke.
