1925-10-29 - "STORY OF AN AUTO TRIP TO CALIFORNIA
Burbank, California, Oct. 20, 1925
Dear Messenger:
I told the Clio Messenger that I would write and must do as I said, so will give you the route we traveled. We left Argentine, Michigan, Sept. 15, and landed in Burbank Oct. 6, and had one fine trip. The first day out it rained all day and night. Stayed in Benton Harbor first night. Took the Lincoln Highway at South Bend and then west to Omaha, Nebraska, then south to Kansas City, and then we took the old Santa Fe trail west to Los Animos, Colorado, then south across the corn of Colorado to Trinidad and over the Raton Pass, then southwest to Las Tunas, New Mexico, west to Arizona where we stopped and took a good look at the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert or bad lands of Arizona. These were sights that I will never forget. I am sending you a piece of a log. Would like to send you the whole tree, but can't. The tree is 10o feet long and 3 feet through. I think maybe you will want to make a story of this, so will send you a folder giving all details, as it will save one a lot of writing. I forgot to tell you we visited the old prehistoric Ruins of New Mexico. It, too, was well worth seeing. I was told the ruined city must be over thirty thousand years old and has been under ground at least twenty thousand years. We then went west through Arizona to needles, California. Here we entered the Mohave desert, and we will remember it, for we got caught in one rain which made the rains in Michigan look like a light dew. My son, Max, said he thought it never rained on the desert, but he knows different now. Well, we landed in Burbank, California, without any further trouble and found my son, Claude, in fine shape. We have been looking the country over a little and on Sunday went to see Santa Barbara. They sure did have some shake. Next Sunday we shall go down to San Diego, where we can cross over to old Mexico and see the sights in that interesting land. Now, if you make a story out of this, fix it up a little, for I have written in a hurry. I am hoping this finds you all in the best of health and that you will like the little bit of wood I am sending you. I brought it from Arizona and now will send it to Clio there to be deposited with the rest of your keepsakes. I am also sending you a few cards which will also help to make up for what I haven't written. With best wishes from all the Roses,
William Rose.

This editor would acknowledge his gratitude to Mr. Rose for contributing the above very interesting account of his journey and would also say that the story did not require any "fixing up," as it is as good, or better, than anything we could write. We have arranged the cards which Mr. Rose refers to, a very interesting collection, by the way, in our front windows where the public may see them, likewise the piece of wood which Mr. Rose refers to."

1925-11-12 - "A FINE RELIC - The piece of tree from the petrified forest of Arizona which we had been expecting to receive from Wm. Rose, has arrived and is now on display in the front windows of this office. Its delay in reaching us was explained when the expressman delivered it and we found it to weigh about 25 pounds. Our friend "Bill" carried that big piece of rock from Arizona clear to California and from there had it sent to us at a cost of more than three dollars for express charges. That's what we call a real tribute of friendship and incidentally an exhibition of sympathy with our weakness for "relics." We want to say, however, that it isi the most beautiful specimen of its kind we have ever seen outside the national museum at Washington. It is a foot long, six inches square, and is of solid vari-colored agate showing the shape of the tree and the grain of the wood perfectly. Our sincere thanks are hereby extended to brother Bill."

1926-04-15 - "BILL ROSE WRITES - Our old friend Bill Rose of Argentine who, it will be remembered, made an automobile trip to California last summer and sent us a good size section of a tree from the petrified forest, as one of the incidents of the journey, has returned to his home in Michigan after spending the winter in the west. As Bill and his estimable wife, who made the trip with him, have many friends and acquaintances in this section, we are printing below a portion of the letter he sent us on his arrival in Michigan: Argentine, April 6, 1926 - Dear Friends: Well, here we are back in dear old Michigan, after an absence of over six months and we're glad to get back in what I call God's country. We had a wonderful trip and saw a lot of California but there's no place like dear old Michigan, with all her faults. When we left Burbank we drove over the Pacific Highway to Portland, Oregon, and then over the Columbia Highway to Boise, Idaho. Here we left my son, Max, and came the rest of the way by rail. I am sending P.O. order to renew The Clio Messenger. With kindest regards, William Rose."

1926-06-24 - "Bill Rose of Argentine called on Clio friends, Tuesday, and was an honored guest of the Rotary Club at luncheon."

From a newspaper obituary January, 1952. "William Leonard Rose, 90, passed away January 5 at the home of his son, William Rose, Gaines, following a lingering illness. Funeral services were held from the Bowles Funeral Home, Linden, Tuesday, with Burial in Glenwood (Glendale), California. Mr. Rose was born in Royal Oak April 1861, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ransom K. Rose. He moved with his parents to Genesee County at the age of five (this may be in error as the actual move to Vienna Twp., was in 1869 when Will would have been 8) and moved to Argentine in 1916. He was married to Jane Holister at Davisburg in 1888. She passed away in 1926. He married Effadell Haptgood in 1929. He was a life member of Linden Lodge No. 132, F&AM. Surviving are the widow, two sons, Claude Rose of Grant's Pass, Oregon, and William Rose, Gaines; two sisters, Mrs. Salia Service (Rosalia Rose, husband Lafayette Servos) of Clio and Mrs. Grace Wright (Grace R. Rose) of Detroit; four grand-children and six great-grand-children. Mr and Mrs. William Rose accompanied the body to California. "

1927-08-04WM. ROSE OF CALIFORNIA BACK IN ARGENTINE - The Messenger received a pleasant visit, Monday, from William Rose, a former well known resident of this locality, who later resided at Argentine, and who, for the past year and a half has lived in Burbank, California. Mr. Rose still owns considerable property on Argentine Lake and is back in Michigan for a limited time for the purpose of disposing of it if possible, as he plans making his home permanently in California. Mr. Rose has been a splendid citizen all of his life, "square as a die" in every attribute of manhood and his many friends will be sorry to learn that he is going to leave Michigan. They will also sympathize with him most deeply in his bereavement through the death of his beloved companion of more than forty years. In coming back to Michigan in May, Mr. Rose passed through the flooded section of Mississippi and for hundreds of miles saw nothing but water covered land, with occasionally a house top above it, and with natives in boats going about and towing the carcasses of dead animals to high ground for burial.

1927-10-06 - "William Rose of Argentine, called at the Messenger office Monday. He expects to start for California about Oct. 20th."

1928-03-28 - "William Rose of Argentine, was in Clio this week, shaking hands with his old friends, and they were sure glad to see him. He came from California two weeks ago, coming via the Panama Canal, stopping at Havana, Cuba. He says it was a wonderful trip."

May 24, 1928 Clio Messenger

BILL ROSE TELLS OF PANAMA TRIP – CIRCLES FROM CALIFORNIA TO OLD HOME NEAR LAKE ARGENTINE

Everyone in this vicinity knows, (and everyone who knows) loves Bill Rose of Argentine. His family were among the first settlers in this district and he himself, his excellent wife and family, made their home in these parts for years. Latterly he has resided near his sons in Burbank, Calif., but comes back to Michigan annually to look after his fine estate on the shores of Argentine Lake. We have said that he has resided latterly in California, but this is only a half truth, because as a matter of fact he has spent a good share of his time traveling over the continent, seeing the sights, and trying to locate the most beautiful place to live in. In this charming quest Bill has had almost as many strange experiences as Trader Horn and it is certainly interesting to hear him recount them. On his last visit to Clio he told the writer of a trip which he had recently taken down the California coast, through the Panama Canal, across to the ancient city of Havana, then to Key West, Fla. And thence by rail to his old home in Michigan. The story was to us so interesting that we requested Bill to send us something like it for publication in the newspaper. He obligingly consented and we are presenting the story in his own words a la Trader Horn, to the readers of the Messenger who, we are sure, will thoroughly enjoy reading it. By the way, Mr. Rose sent us one of the cocoanuts which he refers to in his letter and which we have added to our collection. Follows the story:

Argentine, May 15, 1928 Editor Messenger:

Dear Friend:

Thought I wouldn’t wait until I came home to Clio to tell you the story so will mail you the pamphlets describing the countries and cities we visited and also the cocoanut that I spoke to you about. Then you can write your own story just as well as though I were there to bother you. To give you the outline, we left the Frisco docks Feb. 28, and the ship ran along the coast of Lower California, in sight of land, for quite a long way, and then no land at all. We reached the coast of Nicaragua and landed at Balboa, at the west end of the Panama Canal, on Feb. 28. It took us one day to go through the canal, and a most marvelous experience it was. I cannot begin to describe the beauty of the scenery and the massive character of the great locks which accommodate the largest vessels afloat. It was just like one beautiful long dream to me. After getting through the canal we remained one day in Panama to see the sights, a party of six of us employing a guide and automobile and riding all day. The cocoanut I am sending you was picked at the ruins of the ancient city of Panama, sacked and burned by the famous, or rather infamous, pirate Morgan, early in the 16th century. We left Panama Feb. 30, with a four days’ run to Havana, Cuba, ahead of us, where the same bunch again hired an auto and guide for one day, paying therefore four dollars each, and saw some of the interesting things in Cuba. Havana, it will be remembered, is one of the oldest cities on the American continent and holds within its confines the ashes of Columbus, its discoverer. One of the sights in Havana, which appealed to us particularly, was the monument to the American sailors who lost their lives when the U.S. warship “Maine” was blown up in Havana harbor at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. We took a steamer from Havana to Key West, Fla., where we spent a couple of delightful days, and then a six hours railroad trip took us to Miami, where we spent two days more, and from there to Bee Ridge, where we visited our dear old friends, Dr. and Mrs. Ingram. We spent two days most delightfully with them and the came on home by way of Jacksonville, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Cincinnati and Detroit. And – I was sure glad to get back to dear old Argentine.

Sincerely yours,
William Rose.

He was brought here from Detroit where he was taken three weeks ago for treatment at Harper Hospital for cancer of the stomach. 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.".

From the Clio Messenger.

January 26, 1912 - "A pin social will be held Tuesday evening January 30, at the home of Wm. Rose. A cordial invitation is extended."

April 7, 1927 - "Mrs. William Rose is ill at the home of her son, Claude Rose in California. Mr. and Mrs. Rose expected to return here, but were detained owing to the illness of Mrs. Rose."

April 21, 1927 - "Rose - The many friends of the family residing in this vicinity will be pained to learn of the death of Mrs. William Rose, which occurred at her home in Burbank, California, on April 6, 1927. She had been in failing health for a year or more, having been afflicted with cancer and anemia. She was born in Davisburg, Oakland county, Michigan, August 1, 1861, the daughter of Edward and Mary Ann Hollister, and on September 6, 1888, was united in marriage to William Rose of Clio, to whom she had been a loving, helpful and dutiful companion for all of the ensuing years. No words of ours can be eloquent enough to pay adequate tribute to the devotion and to the matchless services of the splendid wife and mother who is gone. No words of ours can portray the tenderness in which her memory will be cherished by her neighbors and friends. Suffice it to say that the bereavement which all of these must feel there will creep the constant and deeply comforting influence of the memory of her pure and loyal life. This is one of the beneficial phases of immortality. Mr. and Mrs. Rose were the parents of four children, Emmon and Hazel, who died in infancy, and Claud T. Rose and William M. Rose both of whom reside in Burbank. She is also survived by her husband, an old resident of this place, to whom the sympathy of the people of this vicinity will go out in fullest measure. Funeral services were held at the late home of the deceased in Burbank and her remains were interred in the cemetery at that place, it being her wish that she might rest near the homes of her children.".
