Clinton E. Rosette (c. April 1850 – July 24, 1909) was a prominent citizen of DeKalb, Illinois, during the 19th century.
In March 1879 Clinton Rosette took the helm of the new DeKalb newspaper, the Daily Chronicle, as the founding editor.
In the paper's early years publisher D.W. Tyrrell sold the Chronicle to Joseph F. Glidden.
The publishing company was sold yet again in January 1909 to Edward J. Raymond and Frank W. Greenway, mostly because of Rosette's failing health.
[2] Rosette died of Bright's disease on July 24, 1909, scarcely six months after selling the newspaper and publishing company to Greenway and Raymond.
