His mother left him in California with her sister, Anita Rosecrans, hoping that the climate would improve his delicate health. However, he died in his aunt's arms of diphtheria. She sang to him during his final moments.
Sadly, his namesake grandfather died two months later of a broken heart. Rosecrans was said to be his favorite grandchild.
