• Notes

  JOHN ROSE (deceased) was one of the typical representative pioneer farmers, and one of the oldest settlers in Brant County, having lived for over half a century on the old home farm, on the Grand River, where his son Robert at present resides. Mr. Rose was a native of Inverness-shire, Scotland, where he was born in 1800; he died, Nov. 12, 1879. His wife was also born in Inverness shire in 1798, and died Sept. 29, 1865. They were married in New York State, Aug. 28, 1828, and came to Brant County in 1830. They were members of St. Andrew's Church, Galt, of which Mr. Rose had been a Deacon for fourteen years, and was filling that office at the time of his death. Their family consisted of three children, two of whom are now living- William and Robert. William lives on the farm left him by his father, and Robert as before mentioned is on the home farm. When the late Mr. Rose first made Canada his home, he purchased 170 acres, which he possessed at the time of his death. When he bought, there were only five acres under cultivation, and the dwelling was but a small log cabin; when he died, he left behind him, as a monument of industry and assiduity, a fine well improved farm, with excellent buildings, everything bearing evidence of prosperity and plenty. When Mr. and Mrs. Rose died, South Dumfries Township lost two of its most useful, respected and beloved citizens. Mr. Rose is buried in the new cemetery, Galt, where a handsome monument has recently been erected to him. William, the son, was born July 28, 1833, and Robert, April 3, 1835. John (deceased) was born Aug. 11, 1829, and died Oct. 17, 1853. The history of the county of Brant, Ontario: containing a history of the county: its township, cities, towns, schools, J. H.
