John Calvin Rose was brought to Conemaugh township, Indiana county, when he was but five years old, and grew up in the township, attending the common schools here as well as the Saltsburg academy, Beaver high school, and Indiana normal, and taught school for fourteen terms in Conemaugh township, two terms in Allegheny county, one term in Westmoreland county--seventeen terms in all. At the expiration of this period he felt the call of the soil, and bought 106 acres of land in Conemaugh township which he cultivated. Later he sold at a profit and moved to Saltsburg, where he became a traveling salesman for the Deering Harvester Company and the Huber Manufacturing Company, thus continuing for a few years. Leaving the road, he located at Wilberdeen to enter the employ of the Westinghouse Air Brake Company, and remained with that concern for eighteen months. Once more he returned to Conemaugh township, buying in 1911 the M.G. Sandles farm,(SANDLES, Marshall G., 1841-1907, 1st Sgt. Co G., 206 Reg, PA VOL, "Father" Clarksburg Presbyterian Cemetery Clarksburg Rd, Conemaugh Twp.)
situated a half mile from Clarksburg, Pa., 167 acres on which he is carrying on general farming and dairying, shopping milk to Saltsburg.
Mr. Rose married Jennie E. Nesbitt, a daughter of Samuel and Agnes (Fulton) Nesbitt, and they became the parents of the following children: Nellie Agnes, a graduate of the Indiana normal school, class of 1912, was formerly a teacher in Conemaugh and is at present engaged at Thornburg; Mary Lucinda, who is a graduate of the Saltsburg high school and North Washington Institute, is now teaching in Conemaugh township, and is also a student and teacher of music; George Nesbitt, born Oct. 18, 1897, is a student at Eldersridge Academy, and after attending the State College of Agriculture expects to be a scientific farmer; Janet Elizabeth is attending public school and studying music.
For many years Mr. Rose has been one of the stanch supporters of Prohibition in Conemaugh township, and has been often called upon to serve the people; he has acted as township auditor and member of the election board. The Presbyterian Church of Saltsburg has long had in him one of its most efficient members, he having served as elder for nine years; since moving to Clarksburg he has been an elder and superintendent of Sunday school. A man of action, he has accomplished much, and has many plans for future usefulness, for he is not one who stands still, but believes in exerting himself to improve existing conditions in every possible way.
