John B. Rose

John Barley Rose (April 14, 1875 in Haverstraw, Rockland County, New York – March 1949) was an American politician from New York.

Life

He was the son of John Clark Rose and Martha (Bailey) Rose. He graduated Ph.B. from the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University in 1897. He attended New York Law School in 1898, but abandoned the law, and engaged in the manufacture of brick instead. On October 5, 1898, he married Maude Moir Barclay, and they lived in Newburgh, Orange County, New York. Their only son John Barclay Rose died in 1919 of pneumonia.

Rose was a member of the New York State Senate (25th D.) from 1909 to 1912, sitting in the 132nd, 133rd, 134th and 135th New York State Legislatures.

He was President of the Greater New York Brick Company, a brick trust. In 1918, his brick and gravel companies went into receivership, and in 1919 he filed schedules in bankruptcy.
