Price Hill had its due share of notable citizens, General William S. Rosecrans being a Price Hill had its due share of notable citizens, General William S. Rosecrans being a resident on the later White property on the northeast part of our suburb during one period of his brilliant military career, according to old-timers. His brother, Rt. Rev. Sylvester H. Rosecrans, first Auxiliary Bishop of Cincinnati and first Bishop of Columbus, Ohio, was a member of Mt. St. Mary Seminary faculty, hence residing at that noble old institution. Thereby hangs a rather thrilling tale. Returning one night to the Seminary, after a trip to St. Peter's Cathedral, the future Bishop was held up and wounded by a footpad as he walked up Warsaw Avenue hill. Perhaps recognizing his victim as a clergyman, the thug took to his heels. Fortunately the bullet wound was not serious, Father Rosecrans calmly proceeding on his way to the Seminary where he was given first aid and medical attention. |
