Notes for Rosa Jane Holman
The 1900 census says that she was born Sep 1879, but she does not appear in the 1880 census with her parents (James P. Holman and Lucinda E. Tipsword). The dates of birth and death I’ve entered are from her gravestone. It might be that she was really born in 1880, though.
