Isaiah R. Rose (June 26, 1843 – November 26, 1916) was a Republican state senator for Ohio, a Washington County sheriff and a Civil War veteran.

Early life

Rose was born on June 26, 1843, in Belmont County, Ohio.

Civil War

Rose enrolled twice as a soldier for the Union Army, and served alongside his brother Thompson. He was captured in July 1864 after staying to comfort his brother after he was mortally wounded, and was transported to Andersonville Prison as a prisoner. He later escaped in December after having made two previous attempts and returned to his former army. However, he was mistaken for a Confederate soldier or scout and was shot in the left leg in January 1865. This injury left him permanently disabled.

Public office

Rose returned to Ohio and, after working as a coal digger in the 1870s, was elected sheriff for Washington County as a member of the Republican Party in 1884, and subsequently as a state senator in 1905. During his career in the Ohio Senate, he was a champion of the temperance movement in Ohio, introducing ultimately successful legislation allowing individual counties to enact local legislation banning the sale of liquor.

Personal life

Rose was married to Melissa Ellen Crawford and had seven children. He died on November 26, 1916, in Coal Run, Ohio. He is buried in Round Bottom Cemetery in Ohio. His descendants include singer and songwriter Kelly Clarkson.[1]
