OGEMAW COUNTY, MICHIGAN
HISTORY OF ROSE CITY
| THE HISTORY OF ROSE CITY was compiled in 1968 by Joyce Harrington, teacher at Rose City School, as a part
of her on-going education at Central Michigan University. She was assisted in collecting data by students in her 8th grade
Civics and History classes and members of the local community loaned old newspapers, scrap books and pictures. The history
consists of 49 pages and includes several newspaper articles and local photographs. The following index has been provided by Grace Dooley, who reserves all rights.
