Notes from two newspaper obituries. Judge Richard H. Rose was 68 years old at the time of his death in 1925. He was a Justice of the Peace in Royal Oak when it was a village. He served many years as secretary of the Oakland County Historical Society and is the author of several histories on Oakland County and Pontiac. At one time he was associate editor of the Royal Oak Tribune. He was struck by an automobile driven by Stanley Eckler, at 10 Mile and Woodward on October 30, 1925 and died November 2, in Highland Park General Hospital. Representatives from every police department in Oakland County led the funeral party. The guard of honor was composed of members of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. The pall bearers were Odd Fellows. Justice Rose was born on the site of the St. James church in Ferndale. He went north when a small boy, returning when 16 to live with his grandmother, Miss Charlotte Rose and his aunt Miss Rosina Rose. With them he resided at Seventh and Main streets until he was married in 1900. During that time he educated himself, was a school teacher, constable, and was elected justice of the peace in Royal Oak. As justice of the peace, Mr. Rose served the township until 1921 when Royal Oak became a city and he was automatically retired. Later he moved to Pleasant Ridge and last spring he again entered the republican primaries, defeating three opponents for nomination for justice of the peace. He was elected without opposition at the regular April election. This year his court had been held in Ferndale where Justice W. Byron Newman is located. Mr. Rose was a captain on the major-general's staff of the Patriarchs Militant of the Michigan Canton for the last five years. He had been a member of the Odd Fellows since he was 21, and was the last living charter member of Royal Oak Lodge, No. 424, I.O.O.F., still a member of the local lodge. Mr. Rose was active in other fraternal organizations, including the Masons, Elks, Moose, Eagles, St. Andrews society and the Eastern Star. Always interested in historical matters, Mr. Rose had served as president of the Oakland County Pioneer and Historical society.

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.".
