  [S49] Long Island Advance (Long Island Advance, 20 Medford Ave, Patchogue, NY), 9 Aug 1940, p. 12. Ancient Costumes and Curios Shown At Colonial Tea .... While Miss Louise (sic) Carman of South Haven was not in costume at church or at the tea, she had with her one of the most interesting articles in the collection. That was a watch which had belonged to her great-great-grandfather, "Priest" Rose, as David Rose, who was pastor of the South Haven church from 1766 to 1798, was known. The watch is known as a "bull's eye," being almost spherical in shape, set in a detachable silver case, with the face much like a "bull's eye." The watch is unique in that it has a calendar hand, instead of a second hand, which points to numbers one to 31 on the rim of the dial. It also has figures one to 60 for the seconds, as well as Roman numerals for the hours. There is a story that Priest Rose dropped the watch in Little Neck run one day when he was riding horseback from the parsonage in Brookhaven to the church in South Haven. Although the watch was not found until the following day, it is said that it was still ticking, as the case was water-tight. The watch was made in London and the gold filigree work in the back is said to be a lost art among jewelers today. ....
