Baltis Rose

Baltis Rose (January 5, 1817 – 1897[1]) was a farmer[2] and political figure in Ontario. He represented Hastings West in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1882 to 1883 as a Conservative member.[3]

He was born in Sidney Township, the son of Jacob Rose and Gabella Fulton. After completing his schooling, Rose worked on a number of farms in the region. He then leased farmland for eight years and saved enough money to be able to purchase his own farm. He married Harriet Irvine.[1] Rose was reeve for Sidney Township and also served as warden for Hastings County. He was elected to the assembly in an 1882 by-election held after Alexander Robertson resigned his seat to run for a seat in the House of Commons.[2]
