A Portrait and Biographical Record of Boone, Clinton and Hendricks Counties, Ind.,
A.W. Bowen, Chicago, 1895, page 433:
MADISON H. ROSE, M. D., one of the most experienced practitioners of Thorntown, Boone county, Ind., was born in Mercer county, Ky. , December 2, 1832.
His parents were Charles R. and Barthena (Perkins) Rose, the former of whom was also bom in the same county, a son of Lewis (This may be a typo, Lewis should be his grandfather and Charles should be his father) and Mary Rose, native Kentuckians and parents of the following children: Lewis, Charles R., Jane, Betsy, Mary, Catherine, and Rebecca, all now deceased. Lewis Rose was a man of strong convictions and acted on them, as is instanced from the fact that, when convinced that he had been doing wrong, he freed his slaves and destroyed his barrel of whisky, and thereafter became a strong advocate of temperance.
To Charles R. and Barthena Rose were born the following children: Elizabeth A.. Madison H., Mary R. , Montgomery, Dwight and Leslie. The mother of this family died in 1888 and the father in 1890. The latter was a republican in politics and had served as commissioner of Hendricks county, Ind., for several years, and died an elder in the Presbyterian church, of which his wife was also a member — his death taking place in Danville, Hendricks county, Ind., to which place he had removed in 1856.
Madison H. Rose, the subject proper of this biographical notice, was reared on the home farm and educated in the parochial school under the preceptorship of the Rev. R. Conover, in Latin, Greek and the classics, and then for two years in the academy at Waverly, Ind. ; he next passed a -year in the sophomore and junior classes at South Hanover, and then began the study of medicine, teaching school to defray his expenses, and borrowing books — first from Dr. H. Labaree, of Ladoga. He attended his first course of lectures at Ann Arbor School of Medicine in the winter of 1859-60 and graduated in the medical department of the university of Buffalo, N. Y. , in the spring of 1861. In the meantime, however, he was fired with the patriotic zeal that filled the northern heart and answered the first call for three months' men to defend the national flag.
In March, 1861, he entered company A, Seventh Indiana volunteer infantry, served the full time, and then, February 2, 1862, entered company A, Fifty-third Indiana volunteer infantry, and was made hospital steward; May 15, 1862, he was commissioned assistant surgeon of his regiment, then. May 15, 1863, commissioned surgeon. April, 1865, he took a contract as acting staff surgeon, with the same pay as regimental surgeon, and thus continued until the grand review at Washington, May 23-24, 1865. He then returned to Danville and practiced until the fall of 1865, when he went to Bellevue Hospital Medical college, at New York, as intimated above, and took a course of lectures and received the ad eundem degree, in the spring of 1866. He continued his practice at Danville until 1S69, when he settled in Thorntown and entered into partnership with Dr. J. M. Boyd, with whom he practiced six years, and then with Dr. Mendenhall for eighteen months, and with Dr. Dunnington four years; since then he has been in practice alone, securing a patronage to which his experience and ability had long since entitled him.
Dr. Rose was united in marriage at St. Cloud, Minn., in October, 1865, to Mary B. Strong, a native of Logansport, Ind., but lost his bride in the spring of 1866. In 1868, on November 27, he took for his second wife Miss J. V. Hilts, who was born near Springdale, Ohio. This union has been blessed by the birth of the following children: Edward P., Lawrence, a student of medicine in Philadelphia, Dwight, Eugenia V., Idelette, deceased, and C. W. The doctor and his wife are consistent members of the Presbyterian church, in which he is an elder. Fraternally he is an Odd Fellow and a member of the G. A. R., and politically a republican. Socially, he mingles with the best society of Boone county, in which, also, his amiable lady holds a very high position. He owns 200 acres of fine land in Washington township, and valuable real estate in the town, and, independently of his reputation as a professional man, is regarded as one of the most substantial citizens of Thorntown.
