George James Rose was born April 15, 1873, about two miles from what is now
the famous Wade House. After his marriage to Ina May Grove on June 27, 1900,
he moved to Plymouth, Wisconsin, where he worked as a teamster for a brick
company.
He had a love for horses and would from time to time, go into the Dakotas
and buy a carload of horses which he'd bring back to Plymouth and break to
drive on buggies.
In 1907, this love of working with horses sent him on his venture into what
was considered the "far North" where he purchased the Dray and Livery Stable
at Granton from a Mr. Lapp.
Loading his household belongings and one pet horse into a boxcar, he, his
wife and two daughters, Elva and Pearl, moved to Granton.
Being a stranger in that area, he felt very fortunate to be able to purchase
at public auction the Rand and McNally 1907 Atlas of Clark County which has
been presented to the Clark County Historical Society.
