Cavalry of the Clouds (march). Published in 1921 by Fred Jewell (Oskaloosa, Iowa).

He played baritone horn in the Penfield Band and was its conductor for a short period of time. He often brought his compositions to nearby Grampian for the Grampian band, his favorite band, to play. Members of the band remember Rosenkrans as a portly figure who carried his music in a black satchel. He died a poor lonely man, with only 14 friends attending his funeral.1

Rosenkrans was said to have shunned all vices, was never married, and was a devoted Christian. In his later years, he lived quietly in a tiny bungalow, composing music on an old reed pump organ. He graded from Penfield High School in 1898, the only member of his family to do so.

DOB: January 17, 1881 (Penfield, Pennsylvania) DOD: August 18, 1955 (Penfield, Pennsylvania)
