Ed Rose, a former Washington County boy but who for the past four years has been living at St. Andrews Florida, died at his home Dec. 24. His health for several years has not been very good and his friends while shocked were not surprised at the sad news. He came to Omaha in 1865 and for a number of years lived on the old homestead west of Herman. He married Mattie Allen, an estimable woman of considerable acquaintance here but whose home was in Illinois. He was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Rose and was 41 years of age. He leaves a wife and two girls to mourn his untimely demise.
