Rose
Rose was held in the county jail at Quincy, Illinois. On the night of May 31, 1865, a mob of about 500 men broke into the jail, took him, and hanged him from a tree on the edge of town. The summary available to us says that before he died he asked for someone to pray for him. The next day the crowd returned to the jail and demanded the keys from the jailor, who refused, and a company of troops arrived and prevented further disturbance.
