"Died – on Tuesday, at Williamson's Hotel, after a lingering illness, Lieutenant William Rose, of the United States Army. It may be a consolation to friends to be informed that every attention was paid to him during his long and painful indisposition. He was buried with military honors – the officers of the army, the navy, and the marine corps, from Washington and Georgetown, attending his remains to the place of sepulture. Lieut. Rose belonged to this city. He was graduated at West Point, with distinguished honor, about four years since. He was a most estimable young man, both as an officer and a gentleman, and what will increase the circle of mourners, is the fact of his recent marriage to a lady in Pittsburgh, the only daughter of John Irwin, Esq."
Spectator, New York, New York, 29 November 1825, page 3.
(Thank you to Find a Grave contributor TT for finding and sharing this information about Lt. Rose. The Lieutenant was my wife's 3rd great-grandfather and the grandon of sea captain Joseph Rose (1735-1806), whose house in Manhattan still stands at 273 Water St, Manhattan, NY 11201). It is the third oldest structue on the island.)
