Rosetta Douglass Sprague
Learn about removing the ads from this memorial...
Birth: 1839
Death: 1906

Eldest daughter of Frederick Douglass. Her grave is marked with a flat stone bearing the word "Mother". Despite efforts on the part of Douglass family experts her final resting place remained a mystery for decades, the assumption being that she was probably buried in Washington where she died and where her brothers were also buried. A volunteer searching through some long lost burial records at Mount Hope Cemetery stumbled across her name by accident.
