FRANK ENSIGN
ROSE. Few families have impressed their business
energies and civic activities more prominently upon Trumbull County
than the Roses. The family has lived in this section of
the Western Reserve more than a century. Representing the
third generation, Frank Rose has had an active career as a
farmer, business man and public official, he having served as
chairman of the Board of County Commissioners until he resigned from
the board in August, 1920. Mr. Rose was born on the
home farm in Mecca Township, Trumbull County, on Dec. 26, 1869, the
son of Thomas H. and Josephine G. (Gridley) Rose.
His grandfather, Jonathan Rose, was a native of Pennsylvania
and of Pennsylvania Dutch stock, and founded the family of Trumbull
County. The land which he took up and developed in Mecca
Township was not sold out of the family until 1913.
Jonathan Rose married Anna Craft, a native of Washington
County, Pennsylvania, and also of Dutch ancestry.
The late Thomas H. Rose was born in the same
house as his son Frank E. in 1842, and died at Warren in
1907. For many years he was the most extensive cheese and milk
operator in Northern Ohio. At one time he operated fifteen
cheese factories and creameries, the product of which was sold all
over Trumbull, Mahoning, Portage and Ashtabula counties. For
all his extensive business care he gave much of his time to public
affairs, serving three full terms as county commissioner of Trumbull
County. His wife, Josephine G. Gridley, was born in
Mecca Township and died in 1905, at the age of sixty years.
Her grandfather, Albert Gridley, was a native of
Massachusetts and was also a pioneer of Trumbull County.
Frank E. Rose spent much of his early life in
the country in Mecca Township. He attended district schools,
also the Courtland High School, and for many years was an active
association with his father, especially in operating the home farm.
His home has been at Warren since 1905. On moving to the
county seat he engaged in the livery and transfer business, and is
still interested in real estate and in the buying and selling of
heavy draft horses.
Mr. Rose is most widely known for his official
record. He was elected sheriff of Trumbull County and
reelected, serving four years in that office. Before he
retired from the position of sheriff he was elected county
commissioner, and was twice reelected. Mr. Rose is
affiliated with Cortland Lodge of Masons.., Warren Lodge of Elks,
and is a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church at Warren.
He married Miss Mabel C. Christy, daughter
of James and Frances (Forward) Christy, of Brookfield
Township, Trumbull County. They have a family of three
children: Frances Rose, born in 1903, Thomas, born in
1905, and Hazel, born in 1908.

GEORGE E. ROSE.
No citizen of Mahoning County occupies a higher position in the
esteem of the people than does George E. Rose, one time
lawyer, ex-judge of the Probate Court of Mahoning County, and the
president and general manager of the Realty Security Company at the
present time. During his years of legal practice he built up a
large and representative clientele, being regarded as an extremely
safe counselor in all matters pertaining to legal questions.
It speaks well for any man who may have the confidence of the people
to such an extent that he is regarded as specially adapted to the
settlement of estates and matters of equity. Since retiring
from the practice of law and entering the field of business and
finance he has achieved as pronounced a success and gained as high a
reputation as was his in the field of law.
George E. Rose was born Dec. 9, 1859, at
Carlisle, Lorain County, Ohio, and is the son of Elijah and Lucy
A. (Bacon) Rose. He was reared on the paternal farmstead,
his early years being much like those of the average farmer boy of
that period, consisting in attending the district schools during the
winter months and helping cultivate the farm during the summers.
After completing his common school studies Mr. Rose prepared
for college at Oberlin, after which he entered Dartmouth College at
Hanover, New Hampshire, where he was graduated in 1881. The
profession of law had an attraction for him early in life, and he
had, at intervals, read some law, but on completing his college work
he began a systematic study of Blackstone and Kent in the office of
Metcalf & Webber at Elyria, Ohio, He was admitted to the bar
in 1883 and in January of the following year he opened an office and
entered upon the active practice of his profession in Youngstown,
Ohio, with which city he has remained identified ever since.
Although the profession was already overcrowded here, he soon took
rank among the ablest lawyers in the city and exemplified the old
adage that "There is always room at the top." In the spring of
1888 Mr. Rose was elected city solicitor and two years later
was elected to succeed himself, serving four years in that position.
In 1893, about ten years after locating in Youngstown,,, Mr. Rose
was elected probate judge of Mahoning County, and officiated in that
position until Feb., 1901, his official tenure being characterized
by promptness and dispatch in the handling of official business,
legal ability of a high order, and a keen sense of justice which
permeated all his acts. Shortly after his retirement from the
bench Judge Rose resumed his law practice as a member of the
firm of Norris, Jackson & Rose. Sometime later, however, he
retired from the active practice of the law in order to devote his
attention to the Realty Security Company, of which he was the
organizer and of which he has been the president and active manager
from that time to the present. The Realty Security Company is
one of the sound and influential financial institutions of
Youngstown and has had an important part in the development and
upbuilding of the city. He was also one of the organizers of
the Real Estate Security Company, of which he is vice president and
he is a director of the mercantile house of Strouss-Hirshberg
Company.
George E. Rose was married to Louise H.
Baxter, the daughter of Heman Baxter, and to them has
been born a daughter, Louise M., who is now the wife of
Robert J. Eppley. The family are members of the
Presbyterian Church, while politically the judge is an active
supporter of the republican party. Socially he is identified
with the Youngstown Club, the Youngstown Country Club and the Poland
Country Club. As a citizen Judge Rose is public
spirited and enterprising; as a friend and neighbor he combines the
qualities that win confidence and command respect, and as a business
man he exhibits those elements which are nearly always a guarantee
of success. His life and labors have been worthy because they
have contributed to a proper understanding of life and its problems,
and while advancing his own interests he has performed his full
share in promoting the public welfare.
