Burial: Feb 20, 1913, Forbes Cemetery

Buried with Ressie, Robert and Jay S. Kern

In cemetery records as Kerns.

* Issue re 1910 census: , Rosela/38 would appear to be Rozella (Rose,) with incorrect age. She is listed between Maud and Conrad which is correct order of children. She seems to be shown as Daughter, M1. HOWEVER, Rose, husband Roy and son Kern Rainey and her dau Lucille Hudgen are also in 1910 censu in DeKalb MO. As of 1880 George and Susan had only one child, Oliver. They could not have a child age 38 or in 30s. There is an ink blot on the age, it is possibly 30, not 38, possibility of birth later in 1880 census year. If so it is possible child could be married and not in household in 1900 and back in household 1910 as age 30. BUT they surely didn't name daughters Rosela and Rozella within 2 years, and how can Rose be with them with no family, and with husband with 2 children both in the 1910 census? Researching.
