Note: Note: this appears to be the birth record of Rozella having a date of birth as February 12, 1889. Family, obit and headstone say she was born February 14, 1889. Possible transcriber typing error. Also, it lists Rozella's mother as M. A. (Royce) Pool....her name was Florence Donna Ann. It also lists Rozella's mother and father as being born in Missouri however they were both born in Iowa. So several errors if this is really Rozella.
