• Notes

  (Source for birth & death: Mamie’s notes) Miss Rosa, as she was affectionately known, was one of seven children born to Edmond Dixon Hoover and Mary Elizabeth Long. There siblings were Adelaid, Alice, Annie, Laura, John, Todd and Rhodes. After Rosamond's marriage to William Henry Horne, the couple located in Greenville, NC, which was the home town of her husband. There they became the parents of four children. Lorraine, who later became Mrs. J.C. Tyson, was the only daughter. John Long Horne, William Hill Horne, and Charles O'Hagan Horne were their three sons. "Miss Rosa" was widowed when her oldest child was only ten years old. In spite of a severe hearing impairment she managed to support her four children by becoming a hard-working, diligent milliner. Somehow she managed to rear her children in and continue her faithfulness to St. Paul's Episcopal Church. When she died in 1930, at the age of 80, she was one of the oldest and staunchest members of St. Paul's.
