Prof. Casablanca Rose

Prof. Cass Rose, son of Elder K. L. Rose, was born, in Hardeman County, Tenn., on November 28, 1865, and died, in Stamford, Texas, on February 12, 1904. Brother Rose suffered terribly during the last week of his life, but he did not complain; yet he was very anxious to get back to the schoolroom. He said: "I cannot imagine how the teachers can do all the work without me." He leaves a heartbroken wife and three children—one girl and two boys—the youngest being only five months old. When about sixteen years of age, Brother Rose was baptized into Christ; at the age of eighteen years he began teaching school, after which he again attended school as a pupil; on December 24, 1891, at Essary Springs, Tenn., he was married to Rachel B. Holley. In 1896 they came to Texas. For four years he taught school in Detroit, Red River County. In 1900 he came to Stamford, where he organized and taught the first school taught in the town. He continued this work till he was attacked by the malady which proved fatal; and by his untiring efforts he built a fine school—the best school, perhaps, in West Texas. He was a true, loyal Christian; he believed the word of God and was satisfied to walk in God's way. May God bless the bereaved wife and children. -
