ALBERT H. ROSE

The death of Albert H. Rose, life long
resident of Brooks, and lieutenant in the
northern army during the Civil War, &C.
CURED at his home on July 18th, as the
result of stroke of paralysis. Mr.. Rose
was born eighty-four years ago and was
the last surviving member of a large
family. His two brothers, Augustus and
Calvin, as well as his five sisters, Mary,
Vesta, Nancy, Phoebe, and Sara, had all
preceded him in death. In 1877 Mr.. Rose
married Emma Curtis of Monroe. who
died T. years ago. From this marriage
there were three children: Vesta (now
Mrs. Charles Varney), Hale, and Hester;
all of whom are now living in the town
of Brooks. Mr.. Rose was man of ster-
ling qualities. AS young man he had
early demonstrated mis- ability as soldier.
At the call of his country he had beeu
one of the first to respond and had served
CALAMITY under the command of Colonel
Berry of Civil War fame. With his regi-
ment, the Fourth Maine, Mr.. Rose saw
the thickest of the fray. He passed
through such narrowing experiences as
the battle of Bull Run, Fredericksburg,
Charlottesville, Gettysburg, Antietam,
and the Wilderness, unwounded, and with
an enviable record as a valiant soldier.
His courage and skill in military aft airs
merited his promotion to the rank of
lieutenant. He was a soldier who knew
himself how to obey orders, and as an
officer he was able to command quick
and willing obedience. He was beloved
alike by his comrades and officers, who
quickly recognized his patriotism, his
high sense of duty, his integrity, and his
sympathetic nature. AS private citizen
Mr.. Rose exemplified those qualities
which ever form the backbone of our
democracy. He was simple In his ways,
quiet, frugal, and Industrious. He had
great respect for law and order. He
never sought public office. but was ready
to bear his part in the responsibilities of
government In his earlier days he had
served his town both as treasurer and
selectman. He never knowingly injured
a fellow citizen either by word of mouth
or by deed He was charitable, consider
ate and kind. His home life was ideal, in
which he was devoted husband and
father. He believed in education and
sought the best possible advantages for
his children. He was heartily in SYM
pathy with ali movements for the moral
and religious betterment of the commu-
nifty. the nation, and the world. Such
characters serve not only their own gen.
erations, but also make their impress
upon succeeding generations through the
force of their upright living. Such lives
live on in this world as we'll as in the
world beyond. Like stone thrown into
a pool of water, making tiny ripples
which enlarge until they reach the very
shores. so a life like that of Albert H.
Rose, lived honorably, urageously, and
well, reaches out in mysterious manner
far beyond the knowledge of man.

RULING ON ROAD BONDS
GIVEN BY ATTORNEY GENERAL

tBy Evening News Correspondents
TRENTON, May 5:-Attorney
General McCran has advised the
State Highway Commission that the
'aw requiring the furnishing of
bonds by contractors obtaining state
Jobs does not contemplate or in
clude Liberty Bonds. The commits
sion asked for a ruling on the appli-
cation of several contractors to put
up the government bonds in lieu of
the surety bono usually supplied in
such cases. The attorney general
advised against their acceptance, on
the ground above stated. He also
called attention to the fact that in
the event of any depreciation in
Liberty Bond values following their
acceptance as surety by the COM
mission, the latter would have to
make up the difference in the event
the contractor furnishing them fail
ed to live up to his contract and the
bonds were forfeited to the state.
Next Wednesday the commission
will receive bids at Bridgeton, Cum
berland county, for the construction
Of the Observation-Disclosures coun-
ty line and Shirley sections Of Route
6 in that section of the state. The
last meeting in May and the first
two in June will include hearings on
applications of the counties for
money in 1922 for the state aid and
motor vehicle funds. The respective
meetings will be held the last We'd
n,sday in May at Newark, first
Wednesday in June at Trenton and
the second Saturday in June at
