Samuel Rose (Philadelphia politician)

[1] After law school, he worked as an assistant examiner at the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission before starting a private law practice with an office in the Market Street Bank Building in Center City.

[3] He was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives as one of three members from the 18th district, along with fellow Democrats Marshall L. Shepard and John J.

[7] In 1946, the Republicans swept the city and much of the state including Rose's district as he and his co-members went down to defeat.

[8] Two years later the Democrats regained some of their losses, including electing Rose, Hoggard, and Edward J. Conway from the 18th district, but Republicans still controlled the House.

[16] Rose suffered a heart attack in April 1959, but recovered enough to win reelection that year.
