Was Old Settler.
H. A. Rose, whose death was announced from Omaha Saturday, and whose funeral took place this afternoon from the First Methodist church of this city, was one of the pioneer residents of Alda township, having entered upon land here in November, 1863. He came here in the month of April from Ohio, in Giauga county of which state he was born in 1835. Mr. Rose was educated in the common schools of that county and learned the details of farm work from his father. He was married in Ohio in 1871, his wife being a Miss Minnie W. Wiggins, a native of Ohio. Mr. Rose spent some of his early years in freighting between Omaha and Fort Kearney. He was a republican and was sheriff of Hall county from 1866 to 1868. He was a member of the I.O.O.F., having joined the same in Ohio. He has seen the development of Hall county from the time when the Indian and buffalo roamed over it almost at will to the present day. Mrs. Rose, who was formerly the school teacher of the district passed away in 1890. The union was blessed with one child, Augustus Henry, at whose home in Omaha the father passed away. The deceased has ever been most highly esteemed by his fellow men and neighbors and was always a fine, conscientious citizen.
