Almon is the son of Gauis Rose.
LIVED SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS ON ONE FARM
Almon Rose Was the Oldest Man in This Section - Ninety-Five Last February.
Probably the oldest pioneer in this section passed away in the death of that venerable citizen, Almon Rose, of this township, Tuesday. He came to Otsego in an early day before there was a bridge across Kalamazoo river, fording the stream to get here. It was seventy-eight years ago - the year Michigan was admitted to the union. He was accompanied by his brother-in-law, Harvey Wakefield. It was a wilderness at that time where Otsego now is built. Three years later he bought the farm south of this place, where he and his life companion hewed for themselves a home in the primitive forests. Mr. Almon Rose was born in Morristown, Vt., February 5, 1820, and died April 27, 1915, old age being the cause of his death. He was one of a family of thirteen children. He first came to Michigan in 1837 and, after a short time, went to Ohio, where he remained about two years, then came to Otsego, where he has lived on his farm south of town for about seventy-five years. He first married Charlotte Green, who only lived a few years, and March 7, 1861, he married Helen M. Stanton, who passed away in 1906. To this union was born one child, Mrs. Stephen Pierce, who has cared for him the past twenty years. Besides her he is survived by one sister, Mrs. Alsina Chamberlin of Cooper, and two grand-children, Marion, and Howard Pierce. The funeral was held Thursday at 10 o'colck at the home. Miss Gladys Barton sang an appropriate selection and Rev. F. M. Taylor preached the
sermon. Interment was made in Mountain Home cemetery.
