Box 14 - Rosewood Massacre

Box 14 contains materials from the Rosewood Massacre Collection dating from 1930–1995 and is arranged by subject and record type. The folders primarily consist of survivor affidavits and administrative files related to the documentation and verification of Rosewood claims.

This box includes folders such as Survivor Affidavits F–H (Set #2); Admin Files: Wilson Abstract & Title Insurance Co.; and Admin Files: Rosewood Survivor Affidavits & Information (including Set #3).

Records found within these folders include, but are not limited to, Rosewood survivor affidavits for individuals such as Bertha Fagin, Ivory T. Fuller, Vera G. Goins Hamilton, Thelma Hawkins, and Dorothy G. Hosey; vital records such as birth certificates; census records including the 14th Census of the United States (1920 population); correspondence from agencies such as the Florida State Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services and Offices of Vital Statistics; property-related materials such as deed indexes for Levy County; non-survivor acknowledgements; interview questions and transcripts; handwritten notes; and administrative correspondence with individuals such as Mr. Beisler and others involved in the claims process.

Collectively, these materials further document the evidentiary and administrative processes used to verify claimant eligibility, establish genealogical connections, and support compensation claims associated with the Rosewood Massacre.
