Noted by submitter Ken Baker: Rosemary's husband's parents were John and Dolly Blauer well known Tingley area farmers. Rosemary's mother Ethel's parents were David and Lottie Daniels of Mt. Ayr, Iowa. Rosemary and Darold farmed south of Tingley in the forties up to the mid fifties then operated a fishing resort on Little White Fish Lake, Minnesota for many years, then moved to Florida where they professionally fished for many years out of Key West, Florida. During their many years away from Iowa they always maintained close ties with their Tingley friends and their many other relatives in Iowa. In later retirement years they resided in Des Moines where they were also much closer to their extended family.

Further background on Rosemary and her early years can be found on the Ringgold County site within the family story of William Henry Baker.
