Mrs. Hose's holding was also a donation claim that consisted originally of Hilt acres, but previous to her death she sold lit acres, part of which was plat ted as Flint's addition to Kosehurg. another part is now the residence property of Judge J. V. Hamilton. There were 1 l heirs to M rs. Rose's estate. These consisted of four brot hers, Harvey. Adrew, Moses and David Chauneey. and seven chil dren six .-.oils and one daughter of the tiftli brother, then deceased. Deciding to acquire his wife's estate for himself alone. Mrs. Itoso's hus band started to buy off her heirs. For a consideration of nearly $2on apiece. Mr. Itose obtained quit claim deeds from the four brothers. For sums of $ IT each, he obtained simi lar relinquishments front t he niece and four of the nephews. These were Cha lies, Timothy, Moses and Warren Chauneey ami Mrs. hmily Joy. The oilier two nephews lie was tillable to locate, hence no set tlement was ever made with them. Ol t hese missing heirs, Cha pin Chaun eey died In tho Soldiers' home at Vouniville.
