Death Roll
Charles A. Rose
     Charles A. Rose a well-know businessman of Cuba, died early 
Wednesday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Clarence Neil, 
at No. 25 First Avenue, Olean.  He had been in failing health for some 
time, and about six weeks ago underwent an operation at the Olean 
General Hospital.  
     He was born in the Town of Lyndon, April 8, 1858, the son of Truman 
and Clarissa Foster Rose.  His wife was Leila Cole of this vicinity.  
The family has always lived near Cuba and in the village for many years.  
Mrs. Rose died a number of months ago.  
     Formerly a farmer, Mr. Rose had been in the motor oil business of 
late years and owned a prosperous filling station on East Main Street.  
It is recalled that he said he began his connection with the oil 
business as a small boy nearly 70 years ago when he skimmed a quart of 
oil off the Seneca Oil Spring and sold it for medical use.  
     Mr. Rose is survived by seven children: Ernest, Rochester; John V., 
Helix, Ore.; Ada, Mrs. Neil, above mentioned; Myrtal Rose, Dundee; 
Genevieve, Mrs. DeWitt Dewey, Brooklyn; Marion, Mrs. Robert P. Kelsey, 
Lockport; and Miss Ruth Irene Rose, Brooklyn.
     He also leaves a sister, Mrs. Charles Thrall of Maple Street, a 
brother, Edward Rose of Franklinville, and 19 grandchildren.
     The remains will be brought from the home of Mrs. Neil Friday 
morning to the Pettit Funeral Home on South Street, where the funeral 
will be held that afternoon at 2, conducted by Rev. Clair Malcomson, 
with burial in Cuba Cemetery.
