1 Rosanna Marsh Rosanna Marsh
Charles and Rosanna lived in Addison County, Vermont. Rosanna named four of her sons after brothers, Walter, Josiah, Joseph, and Lorenzo D. It would be interesting to know if she named her son, Josiah, after she got word of her brother's death. Her death record in the Vermont vitals says she was of St. Alban's. She may have been the last surviving member of her father's family. Charles Bacon died 14 December 1873 age 76 yrs. Rosanna died 1 May 1871 age 73 yrs. Both are buried in Sunset View Cemetery.
