Kate’s notes: There were two notices which appeared together in this paper. In the years following, Rosetta Gilliland’s family remembered her on the anniversary of her passing by publishing tributes, many accompanied by poems.
   Although the cemetery name is given as “Hillsboro” in the paper, it is actually Hillsborough Cemetery. Both Rosetta and her brother-in law, Sydney, are buried at Hillsborough Cemetery, though in different divisions; Sydney died November 5, 1926, less than a year after the passing of his sister-in-law.
