This stone is broken and is resting against the stone for Jane PURSELL. The only remaining piece of the stone has most of the name and the birth year ("Susan W [R]osenham [B]orn 1832"). It is located within a fenced area. The 2 main stones in this area are for Dennis and Jane PURSELL. Also in this area are 2 other small stones with only initials engraved on them ("H.E.L." and "M.R."). The stone for "H.E.L." is resting against Jane's stone. Researching Leo ROSENHAM, I found Kentucky death certificates and birth registers for individuals that listed Leo as the father and Susan W. ROSS as the mother. This is most likely Susan W. ROSS. There is an entry in the KY marriage register for Leo Leo ROSENHIEM, age 30, and Susan W. ROSS, age 21 , married on June 10, 1855. There is another IGI entry that shows a marriage between Leo ROSENHAM and Fannie Strauss on 4 Feb 1868. This might mean that Susan W. ROSS died before 1868 and Leo remarried. The enumeration of Leo in the 1870 US Census for Nelson County, KY does show Leo with wife Fanny.
