HENRY G. ROSEWARNE
ROSWARNE,SMITH,DINAN
Henry G. Rosewarne, acting as township clerk, his home being in section 7, Milton township, was born upon this farm February 17, 1867. The family is of English lineage, and the grandfather was Dr. John V. Rosewarne, who became one of the pioneers of Cass county, reaching Milton township in 1834, and was identified with many events which shaped the early annals of this part of the state. He was born in the parish of Gwinear, county of Cornwall, England, in the year 1789. He was a pupil of the celebrated Sir Astley Cooper, and from him received the early teaching which made him so successful in after life as a physician and surgeon. In the county of Cornwall he enjoyed for many years an extensive and lucrative practice, living in the township of Wadebridge until he removed to this country. In the year 1829 he emigrated to America with his family and settled upon the shore of Canandaigua Lake, New York, where he lived in quiet retirement until 1832. In that year, cholera having made its first appearance in this county, he was requested by the citizens of Canandaigua to go to the city of New York while it was raging there to investigate the causes of that new pllague and determine the proper treatment of it in all its phases. Among the eminent physicians of New York he achieved a high reputation, not only for the skillful treatment of that disease, but also for eminence in his profession generally. After coming to this country. Dr. Rosewarne did not practice his profession in the ordinary acceptance of that term, but for more than thirty years he cheerfully and gratuitously gave his services whenever requested with like assiduity to the rich and the poor, and there were few families in the community that were not at some time benefited by his professional skill. A lover of nature, he enjoyed the seclusion of the lake shore where he so long dwelt, and although not seeking general society, he was eminently sociable and hospitable. His coming was always welcome, whether to assuage the pains of sickness or receive the hospitality of his friends. He had passed so much of his life in that locality, devoting his talents and acquirements to the relief of others, and had proved himself so kind and true and so generous in his friendship that his loss was so keenly felt by the community as to secure among them an enduring and affectionate remembrance. He died at Canandaigua, New York, August 19, 1863, aged seventy-six years.
Charles F. Rosewarne, father of our subject, was a native of Cornwall, England, and was only nine years of age when he accompanied his father, Dr. John V. Rosewarne, to America. He was reared in New York, and with the family came to Michigan in 1834. He remained for about ten years, after which he returned to New York, where he engaged in business as railroad contractor through the succeeding decade. He built many railroads in the east, and was thus closely associated with the substantial improvement and development of that section of the country, for it has been said that railroad building is the most important agency in the settlement of a community, furnishing the means whereby the natural resources of the county that have been transformed into marketable commodities can be placed in trade circles. In 1849 Mr. Rosewarne returned to Cass county and settled upon the farm where his son, Henry G., now resides. His father owned a sawmill and Charles F. Rosewarne was also engaged in the manufacture of lumber. He continued an active representative of industrial interests in this county for a number of years, and died at the advanced age of eighty-one. His political allegiance was given to the Democracy, and he held various local offices in the township, including that of township treasurer. He was well known in the community, and was a recognized leader in public affairs, leaving the impress of his individuality and activity upon many measures for the public good. He was united in marriage to Miss Sarah A. Smith, a native of Connecticut and a daughter of Hezekiah Smith, who was descended from Mayflower ancestry, the family having been established in Massachusetts during the period of early colonization in New England. Mrs. Rosewarne still survives her husband and is now seventy-seven years of age. In the family were eight children, five sons and three daughters, and with the exception of one son all are yet living.
Henry G. Rosewarne is the youngest of the family and the only one who now resides in Cass county. He was reared upon the old family homestead and acquired his education in the common schools, devoting his time to the labors of the field when not occupied with his text books. In 1888 he went to Chicago, and for four years was engaged in the hardware business in that city. In 1892 he returned to the old homestead in Cass county, where he has since been engaged in general farming. Everything about his place is in keeping with the ideas of modern farming, there being fair buildings, the latest improved machinery, well kept fences and highly cultivated fields. Mr. Rosewarne realizes that diligence is the basis of all success, and by his unremitting effort has won a creditable place among the substantial agriculturists of the county. The farm comprises one hundred and sixty-five acres, and Mr. Rosewarne is engaged in general agricultural pursuits and dairying, having a good business in both departments.
On the 7th of September, 1898, was celebrated the marriage of Henry G. Rosewarne and Miss Eva I. Dinan, a daughter of John M. and Ellen (Smith) Dinan, who became pioneer settlers of Cass county, Michigan. They are still living, and yet remain residents of this county. Their daughter, Mrs. Rosewarne, was born in Jefferson township, Cass county, was educated in the home school and in the Ferris Industrial School. Prior to her marriage she successfully engaged in teaching for three years. Mr. Rosewarne has taken an active part in politics and has held various offices, to which he has been called by his fellow townsmen, who recognize his worth and ability. He was treasurer of Milton township in 1896-7, has been justice of the peace, and in 1900 was appointed to fill the vacancy in the office of township clerk. He was then elected in 1901, and has been elected each succeeding year, so that he is still the incumbent in this position. His entire life has been passed in Cass county, and his record is as an open book which all may read. He has never attempted to take advantage of the necessities of his fellowmen, but has lived so as [to] win their respect and confidence, and has made a creditable record in business and political circles. Mr. and Mrs. Rosewarne have a copy of the parchment deed which was executed June 25, 1834, and bears the signature of President Jackson, this being one of the valued documents of the county.
