January 25, 1918 - "A rather striking instance of the severity of the great storm of Jan. 11-15 is embraced in the thrilling experience of Clyde Rose, of this township, who was at that time on his way from Geneseeville to his home. When the blizzard was at its height he was caught in a sparsley settled district and as his team was unable to get through the huge drifts he was obliged to find shelter in an abandoned house. Here he found an old stove in which he managed to build a fire and stabled his team in a nearby shed, remaining in the house for about twenty-four hours. His face was frozen by exposure until it bled before he reached the house and his toes were frozen. When the storm subsided he was able to get to a place where he secured food for himslef and team and later reached his destination. That a person could have such an experience in this section of Michigan seems more than remarkable."

He was born in Allegheny County, NY January 12, 1832 and came with his parents to Greenfield, Wayne County at the age of five years where they resided for several years when they moved to Royal Oak. At the age of 25 years he was married to Jane Pridgeon. They lived at Royal Oak until April 1869, when they came to Vienna Township and settled on the farm where they have resided ever since. (SW corner of Old Plank and County Line). He was the father of eleven children, six boys and five girls, one boy dying when he was eight years old. (Mark Rose b. 1868, d. Feb. 13, 1876).

Robinson (Rosalia Rose), of Royal Oak. Mrs. Thomas Carter was unable to attend the funeral on account of sickness. The five sons of Mr. Rose acted as pall bearers fulfilling the desire to that effect expressed by the deceased prior to his death. Mr. Rose was a man held high in the esteem of his neighbors, of sterling character and a man who will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends.

In an article in the November 25, 1921 Royal Oak Tribune, Justice Richard H. Rose, the first child of Ransom and Jane, is quoted with reference to the location and type of property originally owned by Ransom as follows: "Justice Richard H. Rose, in discussing the remarkable rise in the value of Royal Oak real estate, recalls that his father sold 40 acres in Ferndale just south of the Machpelah cemetery for about $1,000 about 40 years ago. The judge says that all it was good for was to raise blue racers and mud turtles.".

Notes from the researcher who provided the information for Joel Rose on the World Family Tree of Ancestry.com: "BIRTH: Date is from the IGI."

Notes from Margaret Amey: "Pioneers of Bradford Co." says that Martin Rose got land in Penn. in 1815 from brother William. He had settled there in 1806 and the area was named Roseville for him.
