From Ferne Norris; Lloyd Connell was a farmer east of Brooklyn and Rose a busy midwife who delivered many local babies. A lovely picture of her and an interview from The Brooklyn Chronicle shows her to be an attractive and evidently interesting lady. Harvey Jones, with whom she lived in her later years, said she was a wonderful mother-in-law.
