Obituary from the May 14, 1915 Royal Oak Tribune. "Mrs. Harriet D. Carew, an Old Resident Died Saturday. Died - At the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.O. Wilcox, Saturday, Mrs. Harriet D. Carew, aged 82, Harriet Rose was born in Tioga county, Pa., May 1, 1833. She was the daughter of the late Virgil M. Rose, and was a sister of the late Mariva A. Hodges, whose husband built the Hodges House in Pontiac. She came with her parents to Royal Oak at the age of three years, and has resided here continuously since. She was twice married. Her first husband was Joseph Dows, by whom she had three children: Mrs. C.F. Hamilton, of Cincinnati, O.; Mrs. W.O. Wilcox and Mrs. Dollie B. Parent of Royal Oak. Her second husband was Thomas Carew, one child being born of this union, Mrs. John J. McGuire, also of Royal Oak. She left 11 grand-children. Her father V.M. Rose, was one of the earliest settlers in Royal Oak Township. At one time he owned nearly all the land that comprises the village, and conducted a hotel at the intersection of Woodward avenue and Main street, which was known as "The Travelers Home." It was at that time one of the leading hostelries between Pontiac and Detroit, and is well remembered by the earlier residents of the town. Mrs. Carew owned the Rose House in Pontiac until about two years ago, when she sold it to B.V. Woodward, of Pontiac. She was the last member of the family. The funeral was held from the home of her daughter, Mrs., W.O. Wilcox, Wednesday at 1 o'clock, and the remains were taken to Pontiac and placed in the family lot in Oak Hill Cemetery.
