Her lengthy illness and death absolutely devastated my grandfather and his 3 children. Her history was not recorded in the information passed down to me. I am certain that Colbert connects with her mother or grandmother. Oral history states Colbert ran a rooming or boarding house in National City, CA. And a Rue Louise Colbert is buried next to Rose in Chicago. Big mystery to me ! !
