Obituary from the Oakland County Post, Friday, June 22, 1894.

"Died, at his residence in this village Thursday, June 7th, 1894 at 10:30 o'clock p.m., Virgil M. Rose, aged 86 years. He retired to his bed about 10 o'clock feeling exceedingly well, in fact, better than he had for some time past. He ate a hearty supper and was cracking jokes with members of the family in the early part of the evening. Mrs. C.J. Gregory, his grand-daughter had to pass by his room later in the evening and was horrified to find him dead. He had only been dead a few moments when found. Justice Stors empaneled a jury which, after viewing the remains rendered a verdict that the deceased came to his death from the effects of old age. The funeral was held at the house Monday, June 11th, conducted by Rev. A. Wood and the remains taken on the 11:45 train to Pontiac and laid to rest beside his wife, who had proceeded him by about twenty-five years. Two children are left to mourn his loss, Mrs. Harriett Dows, of Cleveland, Ohio and Mrs. Mariva Hodges of Pine Lake. The following relatives were present from a distance. Mrs. H. Dows, of Cleveland, Mariva A. Hodges of Pine Lake and Wm. Saunders of Howell. Deceased was born in Manchester, Vt., in 1808 where he lived until he was 11 years of age. He then moved with his parents to Roseville, Pa., removed from Roseville to Detroit in 1834, came to Royal Oak in 1835 and purchased a large tract of land from the government and has resided here ever since. There was seven children in his father's family, five boys and two girls, all of whom have passed away. Mr. Rose was one of the oldest pioneers in the county, having lived to see it advance from a howling wilderness in the 30's, infested by Indians and wild animals, to what it is at the present time, one of the best agricultural counties in the state."

From the Royal Oak Tribune, May 18, 1926

"The Pleasant Ridge village commission last night awarded a contract to R.D. Baker Company for the paving of Virgil Rose avenue." There is, unfortunately, no longer a street by that name in Pleasant Ridge.

Martin died in 1824 and brother Joel adm. his estate. Rufus Lemon was appt. guardian of the children. It is possible that this Joel may have lived in the same location for awhile.
