Roselda was born in 1869 in Mercer County, Ohio.^[1] She was the daughter of Michael Harner (1847-1943) and Sarah Shipman (1848-1904).

She married 1st Francis Marion McNair (1874-1930) on 27 Feb 1892 in Mercer, Ohio.^[2] Their son, William Esta McNair, was born 7 Mar 1892^[3] and died in 1952.

(Francis Marion McNair would marry again in 1895, to Olive Crouch (1874-1962), who was apparently the mother of another son, Clifford McNair, he had fathered in 1892. They would have other children as well. And after McNair's death, Olive would also marry again. Divorce records have not yet been found.)

Roselda married again, in 1895^[4] to Thomas F. Mitchell (1861-1929).
