Jehiel Rose was born in Stockholm, St. Lawrence Co., NY, Nov 16. 1815. At the age of 23 he came west to the state of Illinois. A chance meeting with Bushrod W. Henry brought him to Shelby County where he settled on Sand Creek. He followed school teaching for a number of years and many of the prominent men of Shelby County were his pupils. His son John Perry Rose in later years related that his method of teaching was different than what had been the norm. It was the first "silent" school ever in Shelby county. Up to that time the scholars did their studying aloud, spelling the words out letter by letter in a sing song manner. Of course, the children told their parents of the new teacher's innovation and in a week or two, the directors asked Mr. Rose to resign. He prevailed on them to give him and his "new fangled Yankee notions," as they called them, another trial. Reluctantly they consented but in a few more weeks they were boasting that they had the best school in the county and that their children were learning the fastest. The new teacher and his new methods had won.
On Sep. 22, 1841, he married Elizabeth Storm, by whom he had ten children, five of whom were living at the time of his death on Jan. 28, 1875. Elizabeth Storm was the daughter of Thomas and Sarah Oakley Storm. Elizabeth died Jul. 20, 1864 after the birth of a daughter, Barbara, who died five days after the mother.
Their known children are:
Daniel Parker Rose [1842-1869]
Sarah Ellen Rose White [1848-1868]
John Perry Rose [1850-1926]
Myron Rose [1853-1933]
Hannah Elizabeth Rose Hilligoss [1856-1937]
Thomas Luther Rose [1858-1899]
Clara Eudora Rose Garrett [1861-1922]
William O. Rose [1862-1862]
Barbara Rose [1864-1864]
After the death of his wife, Elizabeth Storm, he married a second time to Elizabeth Walden who survived him.
Jehiel Rose served as a county judge for Shelby Co., IL. At his death, Jasper L. Douthit, conducted the funeral services and during his funeral sermon of which the details were recorded in the Shelby County Independent, Feb. 3, 1875, detailed the fairness and wisdom of Judge Rose. Quoting from this article, "Intellectually, Judge Rose was a man of more than ordinary ability. His perceptions were sharp, which united with his quick sense of justice, made it almost impossible to confuse him in cases of common law, where right and wrong were involved. He was a man of sound judgment; had a large share of what may be called "good common sense;" and this, combined with his integrity and moral earnestness, made him a man of wisdom. He was indeed a wise and just judge, unwavering in the right, as God gave him to see the light. No special pleadings or sophistry of shrewd attorneys could move him from what he saw and felt to be the truth in the case. He was a man of great plainness of speech and manner. He was very free from ostentation or display. There was no fuss or bluster about him."
Judge Jehiel Rose was buried in the Sand Creek Cemetery. His remains were brought from Shelbyville, where he resided at the time of his death, to Windsor on the noon train with the following members of the bar as pall bearers; Hon. Wm. Chew, W. W. Hess, Hon. G. R. Wendling, L. B. Stephenson, E. A. McGrew and H. S. Houser.
