Harry Rosenbaum had way with words
Harry Burton Rosenbaum was a former telegraph operator who enjoyed writing essays.
Mr. Rosenbaum, 97, died at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Highlands of Ft. Thomas nursing home.
Mr. Rosenbaum started working for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad in the 1930s, running the telegraph in Greenup County. He married
Beulah Bush and they moved to Northern Kentucky.
"At one time they lived in Ohio and he used to row across the river every night," said Mr. Rosenbaum's son, Robert L. Rosenbaum of Alexandria.
The Rosenbaums lived in Silver Grove during the 1937 Ohio River flood and lost all of their possessions in the rising water.
"They had to start over," said Robert Rosenbaum, who was born in September of that year.
"My father taught me to be independent and how to enjoy life," Robert Rosenbaum said.
The family lived in Alexandria and Newport and in 1941 built the house in Ft. Thomas where Mr. Rosenbaum lived for the rest of his life. He had a way with words and used to enter essay contests, his son said.
"He'd sit at the dining room table with his typewriter," Robert Rosenbaum recalled. "We won a trip to Europe for an essay on Vicks. He won refrigerators and bicycles."
Mr. Rosenbaum wrote many of his winning essays after he was retired, his son said.
Mr. Rosenbaum was a member of the Ft. Thomas Retired Men's Club. His wife, Beulah Bush Rosenbaum, died in 1993.
