Died of Pleurisy when her oldest child was 11 and her youngest child was only 6 months old.
The night after Amelia died, Hugh parceled his children out to different locations. Frannie was sent to Mt. St. Joseph Academy, Phil and Hugh went to a military academy, Bill was sent to Uncle John and Aunt Lena Buschmann Wintrich in Cleveland. Elizabeth (Betty) and Rosy were sent to live with Lawrence Brown's family in Owensville, Clermont, Ohio.
Hugh Louis Brown decided that Rosy was being neglected by Uncle Lawrence Brown so he sent her to live with Aunt Lena Wintrich in Cleveland, but Aunt Lena was sickly. One of Lena's friends was Cecilia Wellinger who agreed to foster Rosy. Rosy stayed with them until she was in the 3rd grade. The rest of the children returned home after Hugh Louis married Florence Paul.
When Hugh Louis remarried, he hid away all the pictures of Amelia and instructed his children never to speak of their mother again.
