Judge
Uriah Milton (U.M.) Rose was a nationally known lawyer. Born in
Kentucky in 1834, he attended the Transylvania Law School in Lexington,
Kentucky, and graduated in 1853 at the age of nineteen. In the same year
he married Margaret T. Gibbs. They moved to Batesville, Arkansas, where
U.M. began his law practice. In 1865 Governor Elias Conway appointed
Rose Chancellor of Pulaski County. Moving to Little Rock, Arkansas, he
started a law partnership that became the Rose Law Firm. He was the only
attorney from Arkansas asked to help organize the American Bar
Association in 1878, and was elected president in 1901. At his
suggestion Arkansas attorneys founded the Arkansas Bar Association in
1882. He was asked by President Theodore Roosevelt to attend the Second
Hague Peace Conference in 1907 as Ambassador. Uriah Milton Rose's statue
