Misc. Notes
In 1880 she is listed as age 12, working as a servant girl for the family of Henry Taylor in Oakfield. This was the year her father died, so most likely it was after he died.
Married Ezra Almon Tibbetts (1864 - 1940) in 1884 in Maine, and they lived in Iron River, WI in 1900, then in Hope, ID in 1910. In 1920 Rosa is listed without her husband, living with his “brother” and the children in Bonner’s Ferry, ID.
Her death certificate information was provided by son Orie Tibbetts, and erroneously lists her parents as Freeman McKusick and Viola Corson for unknown reasons. Whereas all other records for her children list her maiden name as Robb!
