Death of Rev. J. H. Rose, M.A., Yicar of Clerkenwell.—Although
the death of the Vicar took place
on the 28th April, and therefore after the close of
the year to which this Report relates, the Vestry
have directed that it should be recorded here as a
matter of more than ordinary interest and importance.
The Rev. J. H. Rose, M.A., had been connected
with the Parish for 30 years, viz., for seven years
as Curate under the late Dr. Robert Maguire, and
for twenty-three years as Vicar, having been elected
in 1875 by a large majority, in open polling extending
over three days.
The resolution of the Vestry upon the announcement
of his death was as follows :—That this
Vestry desires to place on record its deep regret at
the sudden death of the Rev. J. H. Rose, M.A.,
Vicar of Clerkenwell; its high appreciation of the
faithful services rendered by him in many ways
during the past thirty years, and begs respectfully
to offer to Mrs. Rose and family its sincere and
heartfelt sympathy in the great bereavement that
has fallen upon them.
MEMORANDUM.
The delay in issuing this Report is due to the
lamented illness and death of the late Vestry Clerk,
Mr. R. E. Paget, as fully recorded on pages 89, 98,
123, 147, 148, of the Vestry's printed minutes,
1898-9.
