9. | Rosa Ann Vernetta McLemore was born on 27 Jul 1869 in Seguin, Guadalupe County, Texas (daughter of Keton Jones McLemore and Nancy Jane Johnson); died on 9 Dec 1954 in Houston, Harris County, Texas. Notes:
Rosa was interviewed by a grandson in 1941, and her detailed description of the family makeup was the starting point for much of the subsequent genealogical research done regarding the Keeton Jones McLemore family. She loved to fish, a trait she passed on to her granddaughter, Barbara Nixon.
In 1944, a few years after her husband's death, Rosa was living at 8005 Grafton Street in Houston.
In a November, 1954 letter to his niece, Pleasant informs her that his sister Rosa had recently been diagnosed with "cancer on (her) lower intestine", a fact that her sons knew but did not want their mother informed of.
