Samuel Rose (Philadelphia politician)
Samuel Rose (August 11, 1911 – January 31, 1960) was a Democratic lawyer and politician from Philadelphia.
Rose was born in 1911 in Philadelphia, the son of Issac Louis Rose and Minnie Mutterpearl Rose.
Rose quickly got involved in local politics as a Democrat, becoming leader of the 24th ward.[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. Finnerty.[5] (House members at that time were chosen from multimember districts.) In 1942, despite Republican gains statewide, Rose and Finnerty were reelected along with Democrat Dennis W. Hoggard.[6] Two years later, the voters elected all three representatives to another term.[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.[9] All three were reelected in 1950, despite Republican gains elsewhere in the state.[10]
Rose suffered a heart attack in April 1959, but recovered enough to win
