February 14, 2021 at 10:11 amMy sincere condolences to all of Rosalie’s family. I am her second cousin once removed who became aware of her through my genealogical research and her daughter Betty. I believe that Rosalie was the last surviving grandchild of James and Caroline Loder of Ireland’s Eye, and one of the couple-few last surviving great grandchildren of Silas and Rachel Loder (my great-great grandparents) of that same beautiful haven.
