January 1964

(Rosa has written this on the January 30 page:)

We lived near Rochester before we moved to Tiosa, knew folks by the name of Eash, had a girl named Emma and she was sick, she had a son named Eddie, they were relation to Millers in California. Emma Miller, Mazy Miller and Mollie Miller.
We lived neighbors to George and Bertha Overmyre when Daisy was a little girl.
At Tioso Indiana near Rochester, her father was very sick and Orby and I went over to Overmyres and tried to do things for him. He died, she was not good to her father. They had 2 sons, I think one was named Frank.
