In the Bio of his son, Henry G Rosewarne,
# 59572266 is the following about Charles.
"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."

The Mortuary Record
From Monday's Star.
At 4 o'clock this morning, as the darkness of night was melting into the light of day, the soul of the late Chas F. Rosewarne, a man whose integrity was equalled only by his genial manners, departed from its earthly habitation and passed into the impenetrable depths of shadowland.
Mr. Rosewarne had been ailing during the past six months or more. However, as there appeared no symptoms that would indicate any particular disease, it is thought that he died of "old age"--the cause ascribed when the allotted time on earth has passed and death claims its due.
The deceased was born in Cornwall, England 80 years ago and came to Michigan in '35. He had resided for many years on his farm three and one-half miles southeast of town. Mr. Rosewarne was one of the oldest and most respected of the pioneers of this section.
He leaves a wife and 8 children to mourn the loss of a kind husband and indulgent father. The children are: Mrs. E.D. Lovell, Chicago; Mrs. Sylus Gorton, Niles; Miss Georgie, Chicago; Sidney and Hugh, Niles; Henry, who resides at the homestead; John of Tennessee and Charles of Springfield, Ill. The children are all here now with the exception of John and Charles who will probably arrive shortly.
In '48 he wedded Miss Sarah A. Smith of Milford, Conn.
Mr. Rosewarne was married over fifty years and up to the present time there had never been a death in the family--a rare circumstance, indeed.
The funeral service will be conducted by Rev. Frederick Hall, at the late residence of the deceased on Wednesday at 11 a.m.
