Wife Sarah E, age 37, born in TN of parents born in TN, mother of 5 of whom 5 are living, all born in TN

Daughter "Leda" M, age 24, marked as married but still with last name Rosamon, so suspect census taker mistake

2-13-1947 Crockett Times: Elderly Man Killed by Auto in Jackson: Jackson's first 1947 traffic fatality had been chalked up Monday with the death of R.L. Rosamond, 76, who died at Memorial Hospital at 10:30 Sunday night after being struck by an automobile two hours earlier. The accident occurred at an intersection after the driver of the car, identified by Police Chief Robert Mainord as Boyd Armstrong, 23, of Jackson, went ahead at the green light traffic signal. Chief Mainord said Armstrong had the car in low gear and that evidence indicated Mr. Rosamond stepped into its path.

Mr. Rosamon was taken to Memorial Hospital in a Griffin ambulance. He suffered head injuries and a broken arm. The victim lived with his daughter and was on his way to attend church when the accident occurred...Mr. Rosamond, a retired farmer, formerly lived in Crockett County... (then repeats same survivors as Jackson Sun.)
