BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES top

EDWARD ROSEWATER (1841-1906)

Edward Rosenwasser was born in Bukovan, Bohemia on January 28, 1841 to Edward and Rosalia Kohn Rosenwasser. At age 13 he immigrated to the United States with his parents who anglicized their last name to Rosewater. His family landed first in New York and then traveled to Cleveland, Ohio to find work and join other family members already in America. Edward took up peddling and other jobs throughout his youth to supplement his family's income. In 1857 he took a three-month course at Hollister and Felton's Commercial College to improve his penmanship and also to learn basic accounting and bookkeeping skills. This was the only formal education he obtained after coming to the United States.

The panic of 1857 left Edward without employment, so he left Cleveland and began to travel throughout Ohio looking for a job. During his travels he met James Hamilton Warren, a telegraph operator, who taught Edward about telegraph operation. In November of 1858 James received a permanent job as a telegraph operator while Edward continued to practice and perfect his skills. In 1859 Edward returned to Cleveland and continued to practice telegraphing, volunteering at the Cleveland Depot Office, until in April of 1859 he received his first telegraphing job at Oberlin. Edwards telegraphing skills took him south to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Burnsville, Mississippi, and finally Stevenson, Alabama in October of 1859.

Edward's time in Stevenson, Alabama coincided with the election of 1860, the secession of the Confederate States, and the election of Jefferson Davis to President of the Confederate States of America. His job as telegrapher for Stevenson granted him access to some of the most prominent persons of this time period including Jefferson Davis and Judah P. Benjamin. Despite being loyal to the Union, Edward remained in Stevenson until May of 1861 when he moved to the Nashville telegraph office. Nashville was under Confederate control at the time, but later fell to Union troops in 1862. Edward quit the Nashville Telegraph office, after restoring the Cumberland Gap telegraph wires for the Union army, and returned to Cleveland.

In April 1862, Edward volunteered for the Union Army at Wheeling, W. VA. He was first attached to the Headquarters of General Rosecrans, then General Schnick, and then served in the Washington Navy Yard with Admiral Dalgren. In the summer of 1862, he became attached to General John Pope, and in August of 1862, telegraphed dispatches from the Second Manassas battlefield. His work at the Battle of Second Manassas led to his appointment as a telegrapher for the War Department in Washington, D.C.

While serving as a telegrapher in the War Department, Edward came into contact with many important figures of the Civil War including President Abraham Lincoln and was responsible for transmitting important communications during the Civil War between Washington and Union field operations. Edward Rosewater is best known, however, for his part in telegraphing the Emancipation Proclamation to the rest of the world.

Edward resigned from the War Department in 1863 to take a position as Chief of Operation for the Omaha City telegraph office. Edward would remain in Omaha for the remainder of his life. While in Omaha, Edward founded and became editor of the Omaha Bee newspaper. Edward was active in the Republican Party and in 1906 he tried to become the Republican Nominee for the U.S. Senate but was unsuccessful.

Edward Rosewater married Leah Colman on November 13, 1864 in Cleveland, Ohio departing after the wedding for Omaha, Nebraska where he had secured a home for his new bride. He passed away at the Omaha Bee building on August 30, 1906.

VICTOR ROSEWATER (1871-1940)

Victor Rosewater was born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1871 to the parents of Edward and Leah Rosewater. After attending Columbia University in New York and earning his Ph.D. in 1893, Victor returned to Omaha to work for the Omaha Bee becoming managing editor in 1895. He was made a Regent of Nebraska State University in 1896.

Rosewater was actively involved in the Republican Party helping his father run for Senate in 1906, serving as the chairman of the Republican National Committee and planning the 1912 Republican National Convention. Victor moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he became involved in planning the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial. He wrote several articles on the history and significance of the Liberty Bell and continued his newspaper career writing columns for various papers. Victor was also a founder of the American Jewish Committee and wrote an unpublished biography on his father, Edward Rosewater.

Victor married Katie and had two children, Harriet and Edward Rosewater Jr. Victor passed away in 1940 at the age of 69.

SERIES B: EDWARD ROSEWATER, (1858-1906) contains the diaries and correspondence of Edward Rosewater. The diaries cover the pre-civil war period through Edwards’ move to Omaha, Nebraska. Of considerable historic value are the diaries of Edward Rosewater that include part of his tenure as a telegrapher for the War Department in Washington, D.C. during the Civil War. Rosewater telegraphed Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation to the public on January 1, 1863. In his diary, he describes a reception at the White House that day and briefly mentions the proclamation. Edward’s Civil War diaries span the years of 1860-1863, however, the 1862 diary is missing though brief excerpts from it are preserved in Victor Rosewater’s unpublished biography of Edward Rosewater located in Box 16, files 20-22. The Edward Rosewater Diaries were transcribed by staff members of the AJA in 2008 and are linked to the folder list below in PDF documents.

The diaries cover the later years of Victor Rosewater’s life including his activities in the Republican Party and the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial.

The series is further divided into sub-series based on the numerous activities of Victor Rosewater, including the Republican Party, Journalism, the Omaha Bee, the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial, and historical files on Nebraska.
