Rosa Alton was married to Jeremiah Britton (Judd) Boston on 24 Dec 1891. According to a Drake family researcher, Rosa's mother separated with her father, James E. Alton, and married Josiah Leonard Drake. Throughout Rosa's life, she alternated between surnames. Her children's birth certificates even show this, with some reflecting Drake and others reflecting Alton.
This copy of her obit came from a microfisch copy and I had to doctor it up to get it this clean. Most of the information is available elsewhere.
ALSO: There is a family legend that Rosa was half American Indian. I have not been able to find any support for this position and, frankly, have my doubts. I would like to know if anybody knows anthing of this.
