Camelia L. Carriere was born in April 1857 in Louisiana. She married Antoine J. Rosemond on December 31, 1898, in New Orleans, Louisiana. They had seven children in 11 years. She died on December 10, 1915, at the age of 58. Antoine J. Rosemond, Camelia’s husband, died in 1943, about 83 years old. Camelia and Antoine J. Rosemond are Janice Coleman’s maternal, great grandparents.
Last year, Saving Stories, was presented as a part of Discover Your Roots Seminar in Sharpsburg, Georgia. A short excerpt of the presentation is provided here in case you missed it:
A photocopy of a letter, written by Camelia's husband, Antione was shown to Janice somewhere around 1975, by her mother, Camile, written originally to Tena Rosemond, Antione's niece.
For more than forty-five years, the letter has been forgotten!
The 'blanks' Tena refers to in her editorial comments, were fill-in forms used to diagram a 'pedigree' family tree, for which my mother-in-law provided for us to start the Coleman-Dumas Family history in 2003, which was prepared, largely due to Antione's letter.
We will share the profoundly, informative, and extraordinarily importance of 'documents' that often get overlooked, in a timely rediscovery of Antione's words written more than eighty years ago!
Tucked away on 'scraps of paper,' used as bookmarks, often in a bible, favorite books, postcards, thank-you notes, birthday, Christmas, sympathy, cards and so on...this is the 'stuff the spirits move among!'
Oh, and the photographs! If you can find those...
Stories From the Journey is proud to begin 2023 with The Rosemond Letter
