Walter A. Wilson, * W. F. Hickok, Andrew Healy, *Ira T. Soule, Z. P. Deuchler, E. B. Wells, * R. C. Barless, John Fosmire, Joel Sheffield and * William Harmon. The starred names indicate enlistments. At this time Jacob Sager of Clyde enlisted and joined, and our boys became the nucleus of the famous Ninth Heavy Artillery Band, and how they could play " Belle Brandon ! " 'Tis said that " Jake " once started Old Hundred as a marching tune at a funeral and switched off into " The Dead March in Saul," only when the surgeon, unable to make his horse keep step, shouted back : " What kind of a tune do you call that ? "' Then he was overheard saying : " I thought I could march to anything, but I'll be d-d if I can catch on to the Doxology." The War over, the " boys" came home, having escaped all the perils of the deadly fray.
In 1870 five members of the old band formed with others a new organiz- ation, which continued till 1884, and then disbanded after the Presidential contest. So many members went away from Rose, it was found impossible to continue. In 1870 Captain Daniel B. Harmon was leader, and he was succeeded in 1874 by Andrew J. Dougan. The members from 1870 to 1884 were A. B. Harmon, Ira T. Soule, Stephen Soule, Duane Armstrong, Ira Soule, James Race, Eugene Hickok, William Felton Hickok, Valorous Ellinwood, Levern Wilson, A. J. Dougan, Edson M. Ellinwood, Fletcher Bush, Lycurgus Hart, Charles Benjamin, Seymour Benjamin, Henry Turner, Judson Sheffield, Mortimer Leach, G. A. Sherman, I. L. Wright, E. B. Wilson, George Fry, Constance Kunkel, George McWharf, W. D. Hickok, Charles Redding, Frank Proseus, Charles G. Oaks, Frank Mitchell and Emil Kunkel. Of this list Race and Dougan were in the army, and in the former list, Fosmire and Deuchler also were soldiers. The memory of the Rose Band is a pleasant one. From first to last, it had forty-one different members. Thirty-six are now living. Of the original nine members of the first organization, all are living save Walter A. Wilson. -
MASONIC.
Freemasonry in Rose dates from 1865. Previous to this time members of the order had gone to adjacent towns for lodge meetings. The warrant of Rose Lodge, No. 590, is dated June 22, 1866, issued to certain parties who had worked under dispensation for one year. The charter members were James 'M. Horne, M. T. Collier, Lucius H. Dudley, John J. Dickson, George Catchpole, Seymour Covell, Eugene Hickok, Seymour Woodard, James Covell, Samuel Gardner and P. Jerome Thomas. The first meetings were held in the brick building on Thomas street, now a shop. Subsequently excellent quarters were arranged for the lodge over E. N. Thomas' store, and the same are still retained. They are commodious and comfortable,

and many scores of Rose dwellers have here taken the first three degrees. The first W. M. was James M. Horne, and few men have ever filled that position with more grace and dignity. He continued to adorn the office till 1870, when James W. Colborn was inducted, and was W. M. for two years. Henry Klinck, of ever pleasant memory, followed for the year 1872. Then came Mark T. Collier for four consecutive years, and again in 1879. George Catchpole presided in 1877-8 ; Edson M. Ellinwood in 1880 ; Valorous Ellinwood, in 1881-2, and again in 1891-2 ; Alfred Lefavor held the first office in 1883-4-5-6, and Enos T. Pimm was W. M. from 1887 to 1890, and again in 1893 his name heads the list. For many years Eugene Hickok has been the careful and efficient secretary.
ODD FELLOWSHIP.
North Rose possesses an organization of I. O. O. F., known as Bay Shore Lodge. The present N. G. is Elmer Mitchell. It is said to be in a very flourishing condition.
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIO.
Very soon after the close of the late War, there was organized in Rose a Post of this beneficent order, but it suspended a long time ago. In 1883, September 28th, a new Post was started, having eighteen charter members, and was named the John E. Sherman Post, No. 401, after a Rose member of the 111th, slain in the Wilderness. The first commander was E. H. Cook, M. D., a member of the 75th. Then in 1884-5-6, E. T. Pimm followed, a member of the 9th Heavy. H. P. Howard of the 9th, also, followed in 1887. Jared Chaddock of the 67th commanded in 1888. Harvey D. Barnes, a 44th veteran, was at the head in 1889-'90. In 1891 and 1892, E. T. Pimm again led, and W. F. Hickok was installed commander for 1893. For many years the Post meetings were held in Pimm's Hotel, but in 1892 the Post was given quarters in the Memorial hall.
SONS OF VETERANS.
A Camp of Sons of Veterans, known as the Nelson Neeley Camp, was instituted March 15, 1893, with C. J. Barless as captain. Meetings are held in G. A. R. hall.

ROSE GRANGE.
This farmers' organization, No. 148, was organized in March, 1874, with Henry C. Klinck, master, and Linus P. Osgood, secretary. It flourished for three years, surrendering its charter April 1, 1877. Oscar Weed was the second master, and Henry Klinck, second secretary. The other masters in order were: W. F. Hickok and Eugene Hickok ; the secretaries, Eugene Hickok and Frank H. Valentine. The total membership was thirty-eight. Many of these people now belong to the Clyde Grange. In a community so agricultural in its characteristics, it would seem that a grange ought to have a permanent home.
ROSE NEWSPAPER.
The Rose Times was started September 15, 1886, by Burt E. Valentine, this being the first venture of the kind in town. It was a modest sheet, two columns, four pages, semi-monthly. December 15, 1886, the young editor enlarged his paper to four columns and eight pages, having his office over his father's store. His paper flourished, and a larger press was bought, and March 1, 1887, he moved into the old post office building of " 'Squire " Ellinwood. The paper then had seven columns and four pages, weekly, the subscription being one dollar per year. A little before this C. J. Barless had started the Farmer's Counsel, and January 1, 1888, a union of the two papers was effected under the name of the Farmer's Counsel and Times. March 1, 1889, Mr. Valentine went out, and with G. A. Sherman, set up a job office. The paper continued in the hands of Mr. Barless, who still publishes it. The press upon which this paper is printed is specially noteworthy, since it is the very one on which John H. Gilbert worked off the first edition of the Book of Mormon. The identity of the press is established beyond a question. Let us hope that it is now doing better service than when sending out the delusions of Joe Smith.
CENSUS GLEANINGS.
These data are given to show, to some extent, the growth and develop- ment of Rose. Unfortunately, after 1840, the national census was not collated by towns, but by counties, thus rendering it impossible to secure the desired facts, and in 1830, the government sought only population items. Again the omission to take the state census in 1885 left a large defect in our data ; that of 1892 was only an enumeration of people. However, some interesting items are brought out in the figures presented. The croaker about old times finds that crops have not particularly changed in quantity. My own regrets are entirely over what is not shown, rather than on account of what is. The development of berry culture does not appear. The evaporating of apples and other fruits has no place, and the growing of onions, one of the town's chief industries, has no mention what- ever. Tobacco, also, would come in as a great factor. The state census of 1895 will be a valuable supplement to these facts. In 1864, the town paid out $244.31 for manures and fertilizers ; in 1874, the amount paid for the same object was $2,367, and I am told by competent informants that in 1892, the amount must have been more than double the latter sum. Some of the gleanings of the early census takings, while not appearing in the tabu- lations, are very interesting. Thus, in 1835, the first state enumerating after the town was organized, I find that Rose had one grist mill, and that it ground grain to the value of $11,250. In 1845, there was still but one mill and its work was only a trifle greater. In '35, there were seven saw-mills, cutting up logs worth $2,172, to make lumber worth $4,450. In '45, there were eleven mills, sawing $2,400 worth of logs into $4,900 value in product. One fulling mill, in '35, turned $2,625 worth of wool into $5,250 worth of manufactured goods. In '45, the same mill's work was $2,000 raw into $4,000 manufactured. One carding machine, in 1835, rolled $3,000 worth of wool into $3,750 worth of spinning material. In '45, the record was $3,000 and $3,500 respectively. One iron working plant, in '35, transformed $2,000 in ore into $5,000 in product. In the same year an ashery worked over $350 worth of wood ashes. One distillery is said to have changed $2,700 in solids into $4,300 in liquids. A tannery, in 1835, worked over $600 worth of hides into $1,200 worth of leather. In '45, the record was the same. In 1835, there was not in Rose, a deaf and dumb, blind, idiotic nor lunatic person. In 1845, there were one deaf and
374
ROSE NEIGHBORHOOD SKETCHES.
dumb, two idiotic and two lunatic. In 1845, Rose had two inns, two stores, 330 farmers, 63 mechanics, five clergymen, whose total salaries were $1,150, and three doctors. In 1838, Rose had 166 militiamen, her schools numbered 11, and there were 629 pupils, for whom the town drew $173.53 public money. In 1893, the amount drawn from the same source is $1,946.50. In 1830, the town had 29 people of foreign birth and 573 chil- dren between 5 and 16 years of age. In 1845, there were 56 foreigners and 615 children, as before. In 1855, Rose had 329 owners of land and 435 in 1865. The record of illiteracy has always been excellent. In 1840, there were 101 persons above 21 years of age who could not read nor write. In 1855, this number was reduced to 34, and 1865 showed but 28. In 1840, the value of orchard products was $1,504. In that year dairy products yielded $6,054. In 1875, there were sold 214,195 lbs. of pork, while in 1865, 7,550 lbs. of tobacco are reported raised. Turnips appear only once and then in 1845, when 114 acres produced 2016 bushels. In 1840, there were reported made 180 lbs. of wax, presumably beeswax, and in the same year the people sold 2,122 cords of wood.
The population record of the town is as follows :
1830-1,641 1880-2,244 1840-2,031 1860-2,119 1890-2,107 1845-2,060 1865-2,209 1892-2,002 1870-2,056 1850-2,264 1875-2,215 1835-1,715 1855-2,115
The maximum, it is observed, was reached in 1850, or just 53 years ago. There are more families in Rose, to-day, than then, but they are not so large. The children do not appear. While the number of people is not so large as in some towns of less area, it must be borne in mind that with crowded masses there is also corresponding misery.
In the following scheme, I have not attempted to glean valuations from the assessors' returns, for these, subject to the changes of the Board of Supervisors, fluctuate too much.
