E. W. ROSE, M. D. The leading physician of a large sec-
tion of country included in the territory surrounding
Wadestown, thirty miles west of Morgantown, is Doctor
Rose, who located there after graduating from medical
school, and has practiced over an ever increasing range of
territory. He has been public spirited and has associated
himself with every substantial movement for the general
improvement of the community.

Doctor Rose was born in Greene County, Pennsylvania,
son of a farmer, and he grew up on a farm. He acquired
a common school education, and he studied medicine in
Long Island Hospital Medical College at Brooklyn and
spent two terms in the College of Physicians and Surgeons
at Baltimore. Some two years after he began practice he
did post-graduate work in the same institution. Leaving
college, he came to Wadestown, and the first year had
practically no exercise for his professional talents, after
which his abilities became recognized and his work has
assumed increasing importance with every successive year.
Doctor Rose is a member of the County, State and Amer-
ican Medical associations.

He is a democrat, and is recognized as the pioneer in
the good roads movement in this locality. Associated
with the late M. J. Garrison, Doctor Rose visited the County
Court many years ago to arouse an interest in local road
improvement. The court at their solicitation visited Wades-
town, and out of this movement came the first paved piece
of road in the western part of Monongalia County. This
good road was later extended, after its patrons had realized
the great advantage of substantial highways, and the edu-
cational campaign for good roads was ended in the Wades-
town community years before the idea secured any hearing
in less progressive communities.

Doctor Rose married Kate Henderson who died two
months after their marriage. His second wife was Ida
Lester, who died leaving one daughter, Lucile, now Mrs.
Frank Tyler, of Elizabeth, New Jersey. For his third
wife Doctor Rose married Bertha Evans, and they have
one daughter, Elizabeth.
