His middle name taken from his wife's obituary. The following death notice and info about his paintings were contributed by Dr. Anthony Troha:

The City College Quarterly, Volume 6 (1910), published at the College of the City of New York. “CORNELIUS P. ROSEMON, 71, died recently after several years of declining health, due to the strain of business. In college days he was distinguished by a very pleasing manner and a certain deliberate and quiet humor, which he expressed not only in what he said, but also by a gift of caricature, which in those days his classmates thought evinced much talent in that direction.”

Note: The “71” after his name indicates that he was a member of the class of 1871 [not his age]. Based on the date of the volume of this publication and the fact that he is listed in the 1910 Census, I would surmise that he died in 1910.

Further evidence of his existence between 1905 and 1910 was found in the form of three paintings for sale on an Internet auction website: http://www.northeastauctions.com/search/detail.php?l=257&a=feb07

The landscape painting of a farm is accompanied by the description

“VIEW OF FANNIE JACKSON'S FARM, INWOOD, LONG ISLAND, AND TWO SHORE SCENES BY CORNELIUS PRICE ROSEMON. Sold: $1,276.00 ($1,276) Each watercolor on paper, the first 5 ½ x 8 ½ inches, signed "C.P. Rosemon" and dated Feb. '06, l.r. The two 9 x 13 ½ inches and 6 ¼ x 13 inches, sight, each signed and dated '07. l.r.”

So part of his therapy for his ill health must have been painting. I assume that the “Fannie Jackson” who owned the farm was Fanney B. Jackson-14900, Alice’s sister
