H.] HERRING, reference local death certificate #2482 – Sexton Emory JEFFERSON. “DEATH CLAIMS A GOOD WOMAN: MISS ROSA TYLER ANSWERS SUMMONS OF DEATH ANGEL; HAD BEEN IN FAILING HEALTH FOR LONG WHILE // After an illness of sometime, Miss Rosa TYLER, one of the most highly esteemed ladies of Columbus, died Friday afternoon at 5:30 o’clock at the home of her sister, Mrs. M. E. GRAY, 1320 Third avenue. // The deceased lady was born in Orangeburg, S. C., and removed to this city in 1854, where she has since resided, and although her health had been impaired and failing for a long while, her death is none the less a source of genuine sorrow and sadness to her hundreds of friends. // Always of a retiring and unobtrusive disposition, Miss TYLER was nevertheless closely associated with any and all things charitable and benevolent. She was a Methodist by faith, being a member of St. Paul church, and a member of St. Paul church, and a close friend tritely said, had been of that faith all of her life. Up until her health failed her, and even then as often as was possible, she was a constant and regular attendant upon her church duties. // Miss TYLER was a genuinely true daughter of the south, and in her allegiance to the cause of the Confederacy never faltered, never swerved, never hesitated to any call upon her services as an ally to the lost cause. She was one of the original members of the Ladies’ Memorial Association, and on the 26th day of each successive April, it was her loving task to tie the white and red ribbons in place upon the graves of the Confederate dead. // The funeral of Miss TYLER will take place this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock from St. Paul church, the services to be conducted by Rev. L. W. COULSON, and the following gentlemen will act as pallbearers: Messrs. W. C. BRADLEY, L. A. CAMP, John ILLGES, O. C. BULLOCK, James FARISH and Arthur BUSSEY. The remains will be laid to rest in Linwood cemetery. // The ladies of the Memorial Association and the Daughters of the Confederacy are urged to meet at the church at 2:15 o’clock for the purpose of attending their departed co-worker’s funeral. // The friends of the bereft family weep with them in their sad bereavement and rejoice with them in the blessed consolation that earth’s loss is surely heaven’s eternal gain.” [Columbus (GA) Ledger newspaper, Sunday, 22 JAN 1911, p. 2.] Chet Walker, Contributor #47314925, reports that Rosa’s full name is Rosella Sarah, that her birth date is 17 JAN 1844, and that she is the daughter of John A. & Elizabeth Margaret (JAMISON) TYLER. The 1900 census of Militia District 921 (Bozeman’s District) in Muscogee County, Georgia, shows she was born December 1851 in South Carolina. She appears as Sarah on one census and Rosa on others.
