Rosalind was born at home, and died the same day. Harold Schott's sister-in-law, Clara Leasure Schott, was present at the birth. It was obvious when the baby was born that she would not survive. Even though Dorothy Perkins Schott was not a Catholic, Clara was bound and determined that the infant would be babtized, so Clara baptized Rosalind at the sink immediately after she was born.

Eva Dowdy's death certificate lists her as a widow.
