Rosella was actually born in 1885. The date on her marker is incorrect. I am leaving it this way on the memorial so it can be searched by what is on the marker.
Her last name is also incorrect. She had remarried and her last name became Blair. She is buried with the last name of her second husband. Her first husband was James Whitmore.
