On May 23, 1946 a letter was written to Ida Louise from her step brother Charles Woodworth. An excerpt from that letter follows:

"About your mother [Jeanette G. Rose], that's different we were schoolmates together in Savannah for years and she was just plain Net Rose to me and we were always the best of friends but never lovers. It did not worry me a bit when father picked her up. I will never forget the day he told me he was going to marry Net. I almost laughed but of course I had to accept the situation and wish them all happiness but I did think things you know? However I was living and working in [looking?] in Syracuse so it was all ok. Also fine for Jennie L who was only 10 or so at the time and needed a mother.".

A great many people have given little thought to the importance of this office, and often nominations are given simply to fill the ticket, or to pleae some locality by their being represented on the ballot.
At the republican convention a different judgment prevailed, and the selection of candidates was made after careful consideration. Chas F. Kelly, of Frederic, and Dr. Wm. M. Woodworth, of Grayling, being the nominees.
Mr. Kelly is a well known hustling merchant and a business man, and should he be called upon to exercise the duties of the office, which places him above the Sheriff, he will strart fully equipped by general and business knowledge.
Dr. Woodworth is a pioneer physician of this place, and we think is known to every resident of the county. His literary education was completed at the Monroe Collegiate Institute of New York, and he received the degree of M.D. at the University of Michigan.

N.Y., in 1829, where his young life was passed until his graduation from the Academy at Elbridge, when he continued his studies at the University of Michigan, graduating from the medical department, with high honor, in 1853, since when his life has been devoted to his chosen profession. A close observer, and a thorough student, he has ever kept abreast with the times, and fully up to the wonderful advancement in medical and surgical science, being only satisfied to hold his position in the front rank, which he had early attained. He came to Grayling in 1882, and is therefore one of our oldest pioneers, and probably no man in the county had a wider acquaintance or was held in higher esteem: A man wonderfully sensitive, and with most tender sympathy, he has ministered to the needs of our people, regardless of self, and finding greatest joy in the relief of his suffering fellows. A thorough christian gentleman of the old school whose active life has been an elucidation of the principles he professed. he had lived his life, and blessed death, though sudden, came unfeared, and he has entered into rest. he had attended to his usual professional work on Tuesday, feeling in usual health, and made his last call in the evening, after which, with friends who called, and with his wife, the time until eleven o'clock was passed in pleasing sociality. Soon after midnight he was attacked though seeming slight, with gastritis, and a little after two raised to a sitting posture on the bed, and fell forward to the floor. Friends were called, but life was extinct when he was placed back upon the couch. Besides his wife and daughter Louise he leaves his oldest son, Charles, located at Larkspur, Col., Elmer, at Wheeling, Ill., and a daughter, Jennie, at New York, born of a former marriage, who will receive the deepest sympathy of our whole people."

From the book "The First Hundred Years", An Introduction to the History of the Grayling Area.

"In his historical sketch 'Chronicles of the Methodist Church, Grayling, Michigan,' dated January 8th, 1889, Dr. William M. Woodworth, M. D. states that there were 'a few children of Wesley, called Methodists' in Grayling as early as 1878, a 'feeble flock (who) had no Shepherd.' In his work of 1889, Dr. Woodworth makes reference to an un-named person who was the first to attempt to minister among the Methodist people, and a second man named Reeves (Benjamin Reeves appointed to Roscommon 1879-80) who 'ministered ... for a time and journeyed farther' and a third in succession a 'Shepherd whose name was Hall ... this Shepherd spread the first Table of the Lord at Grayling. Dr. Woodworth was a community medical doctor and Coroner of Crawford County for many years until his death at age 67 [error - should be 76] in 1905. He was a member of the M.E. Church of Grayling, and it is reported he printed the Sunday bulletins in his home print shop. The parsonage erected in 1966, is located on land once owned by Dr. and Mrs. Woodworth."

The numbers given by Mrs. Woodworth, Misses Hanson, Hadley and McKenzie would be rapturously received by the most discriminating hearers, regardless of personal association.

The following is a comment from researcher David gUstner:

It appears that several members of Asa's family kept in contact as evidenced by an article from The Auburn Citizen (Auburn, NY) of December 10, 1907. Mentioned here are:

Jeanette Woodworth, daughter of Asa
Mrs. Arthur Evans (Katherine), daughter of Asa
Jeanette Evans Pate, daughter of Ida who was the daughter of Asa

And yet another member of the family stayed in contact as evidenced by the following item from the Geneva Daily Times of November 2, 1916:

"Mrs. F. E. Clark of Elmwood Place and sister Mrs. A. W. Evans of Auburn, went to Oneida today to spend the weekend with their brother, Frank B. Rose."

end comment.

"Mrs. F.B. Rose of Savannah, a practical nurse, has been called to Geneva to care for her ailing sister-in-law, Mrs. F.E. Clark of Elmwood Place. Mrs. Clark who has been seriously ill, is improving."

From the Geneva Daily Times May 17, 1921.

"Mrs. Frank E. Clark. Word was receikved in the city this morning of the death of Mrs. F.D. Clark, formerly of Geneva, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Arthur C. Evans of 50 Franklin street, Auburn. Mrs. Clark had been ill for some time, due to heart trouble.

From New York Civil War Roll Abstracts we learn that after being in the hospital in Chicago from November 24, 1862 until April 30, 1863, he then left and was erroneously reported as a deserter. We even get a physical description - blue eyes, brown hair, fair complexion, 5 foot 11 1/2 inches tall. The next item is from New York Registers of Officers and Enlisted Men Mustered into Federal Service, 1861-1865. Several sources indicate that Asa was born in Onondaga Co. but this one says Yates Co. which is several counties distant from Onondaga. Given what we know of the family it seems likely that Onondaga Co. is correct.

From the book, "Disaster, Struggle, Triumph" by Arabelle M. Wilson, 1870"

Mr. Rose is not a theoretical but a practical. thorough-going farmer, and is trying experiments in making composts, using mixtures of ashes, muck, marl, salt and lime in different quantities to ascertain results best adapted to the nature and requirements of the soil on the plains in that county, of which he has purchased some 700 acres. He has great faith (with us) in the ultimate richness of that kind of land, and when properly handled and worked, it is found to produce the best of crops with least manual labor, being a rich mellow soil, an admixture of silicious sand, clay, carbonate of line, with more or less of oxide of iron, magnesia, and various salts, and also decayed vegatiable and animal matter, giving proportionate fertility. There are scores of good farmers being attracted there from different parts of the State and country, being induced so to do by the splendid results that have been attained by a judicious, wise and thorough cultivation of that wonderful fruitful soil. -- Otsego Co.

Rose, who filled the bill completely and seemed to give as much enjoyment to the little folks as the presents they were so anxiously awaiting. Two large trees whose tops reached the ceiling, were completely covered with gifts of various kinds, and every member of the school received a suitable present. The minister and his wife as well as the teachers were remembered.

1898-02-03 - "IN MEMORIAM.
DIED - At his home in this village, Thursday, January 27th., Asa J. ROSE, aged 71 years.
Deceased was born in Onandaga County, N. Y., Dec. 21st., 1827. He was left an orphan at the age of eleven years, since when he depended on his own exertions to sustain himself, to rear his family, and to become as he did, a self respecting, and a respected citizen of this great Nation. Nature gave him a powerful constitution, and great natural ability, which he used to such advantage, that, though in his earlier years he labored under a load of friendless poverty, he obtained a liberal education, broader than that of many men, though less technical, and became a master of mechanic arts. A love of nature has ever kept him in close touch with agricultural pursuits, and he has long enjoyed the pleasure of agricultural experiments. He has lived in the rocky East, on the rolling prairies of the West, and amid the mining wilds of Mexico, with varied fortune, but ever sustaining the best of all, his manhood. - When Secession threatened, he opposed it, and when Rebellion followed, he left home and family and all, a willing sacrifice, if need be, on the altar of his country. Only his comrades can know the life of those years in camp and field, in bivouac and battle, and in the prison pen, from which he came, yet strong, through broken, and took up again the tasks and trials of civil life, with the same courage of his convictions that marked him as a man unusually positive in every move. He came to this county in 1881, and made his home from which he was taken to his final rest, and had done much toward the development of this section. He leaves the wife of his youth and his manhood, three daughters and two sons to revere his memory.
The service at the residence on Sunday, conduced by Rev. R. L. COPE, assisted by Rev. MAWHORTER, Post chaplain, were very impressive, and he was buried by his comrades of Marvin Post, in accordance with their ritual, as he desired.
Another comrade has been mustered out,
"Rest,
Rest the patriot hear,
That never quailed with fear
In treason's fiery test."

After the war of the rebellion, through which the husband and father served with honor, while the patriotic mother cared for the little ones without a murmur, they moved west and in 1881 located in this village, where they have ever held prominent place in society and in the affections of our citizens until the death of Mr. ROSE, in 1897. Since that time Mrs. ROSE has divided her home life between the children here and those in New York. A number of years ago an accident rendered her unable to continue the full social life of the past, but the love of her many friends tendered her such kind attention as made her last years pleasant, even with the intense physical suffering at times endured. She leaves two brothers, and two sisters, and her children, F. B. ROSE, of South Butler, N. Y; Mrs. Ida EVANS, of Oakland, Cal.; Mrs. Jeannette WOODWORTH, Grayling; Mrs. Katharine EVANS, Savannah, N. Y., and Fred G. ROSE, Waynesburg, Pa.
Her body was brought home yesterday, accompanied by F. G. ROSE and Mrs. Katharine EVANS, and will be laid beside her husband in our cemetery this afternoon, the funeral services being held at 2 o'clock.
"Not dead but entered into life!
The warfare past, the victory won;
Oh friends who loved her, try to say
'Dear Father may Thy will be
She lives, she lives forever."
