• According to Frederick H. Bair, Jr., she began living with his family before 1933 when they lived in Shaker Heights, OH. Fred thinks that she switched to the Christian Science religion because of the divorce.

New York State Department of Health Certificate of Death 35709, District No. 5922, Registered No. 36, shows she had been living at the home of her son, Frederick Haigh BAIR, 133 Pondfield Road, Bronxville, NY, for 8 months prior to her death. There was also a second address shown: 2913 Warrington Road, Shaker Heights, OH. Informant was Frederick Haigh BAIR, and the birthdate and birthplace of Rosa and that of her parents which he gave appear to be incorrect.
