Rosette Parker Killmer, Wife of J. R. "Bob" Killmer. It was well known that Rosetta was a strong willed woman who did not like to work. It was rumored that her husband James had gold and she did not have to work. Rosetta would wash dishes and iron overalls and that was about it. If anyone gave her a hard time about it, she would just pack up and go visit relatives for a while.
Aunt Myrtie Clifton tells a story about her mother’s mother “Bug” (which would have been her grandmother and my Great Grandmother). She said that my G Grandfather James Robert Killmer had a mule named Beth that lived a long life for a mule. When she finally died, James told the kids to go did a grave for the mule because she was like one of the family. When the grave was ready, they came and told their dad it was ready and Bug said, “Nope, it is not ready yet”, and walked to the back of the house. None of them knew what she was taking about. In a few minutes she came out with 2 large feather pillows and said, “put these under her head………….it’s ready now!”
