Notes for Rosa Lee Bailey
The SSDI lists Rose Reeves, born 24 Aug 1886, died Jan 1986, last residence Lexington, Fayette Co., Ky.
The Kentucky death index lists Rose B. Reeves, age 101, died 14 Jan 1986 in Boyle Co., residence Garrard Co.
Her gravestone is inscribed “Rose Bailey Reeves, Daughter, Aug. 24, 1884 - Jan. 15, 1986 To Rest At Last”. Since her parents died decades before her, the “daughter” appelation was apparently because she is buried in the same plot with her parents, rather than with her husband.
The 1900 census listed her as age 14, born August 1885.
