Rev. Jehu Rose was a Civil War Veteran having served in the Union Forces. He was disabled from his service and received a pension from the government which was passed on to his widow, Harriet Coffman Rose, after his death in 1905.

"While a member of the organization, in the service and in the line of duty at Nashville, Tennessee on or about 1 December 1864, he contracted rheumatism and resulting disease of the heart and a disease of the head."

The above mentioned ailments resulted in later disability for which he collected an invalid pension and his widow, Harriet Rose, received a survivors pension after he died.

"Declaration for an Original Invalid Pension" which was probably the first filing of his pension file was dated 2 November 1889. States that " on or about 1 December 1864 he contracted rheumatism and resulting disease of heart and a disease of the head by the exposures and hardships incident to the life of a soldier - and from said diseases this claimant has not recovered but has continued to be partially disabled by the same."

He states in the form that at present he was a farmer and his previous occupations included farmer, teacher and preacher. His residence at that time was Walnut Township, Gallia County, Ohio and the post office address w as Sand-Fork, Gallia County, Ohio.

And, Martha came up with another obituary - I will try to find the origin al at Bossard Library :

The following obiturary also appeared in a local paper and was copied in his pension file. No indication of the source of the paper was given.

"Rev. Jehu Rose died Friday evening, March 3, 1905, after a long illness of dropsy and heart trouble, aged 73 years. Early in life he was a farmer but about thirty years ago became a regularly ordained minister and belonged to various conferences of the M.E. Church in this state. He was also a veteran of the civil war, being a member of Company K, 173 O.V.I., and belonged to the local G.A.R. Post, under whose auspices he was buried. About ten years ago he was retired from the ministry and had been an invalid ever since. He was an honorable, upright gentleman, a good husband and father and his death will be regretted by his numerous acquaintances. The funeral services were held Monday afternoon, interment following at Clay Chapel by Wetherholt. He leaves a second wife and a large family of children by his first wife and numerous other relatives who will be sympathised with in their bereavement.
