Mr. Rose emigrated to Vinton in 1858 and has lived here ever since, and for the most part has been engaged in the mercantile business.

The deceased was a man of strong characteristics- being either a strong fried or a strong enemy.

The funeral services were held at his late residence yesterday afternoon conducted by Rev. E. H. Avery. The attendance was large.
