Rossmore Edward Abbott
Rossmore had a job working in a jewelry store to help out the family. He was an excellent student while he lived in America and had received an award called the Anthony Medal for his academic excellence. He was so excited to return to the Oxford Street School in America, he wrote his school chums he was "coming home!" They boarded the great ship Titanic with third class tickets.
The night of the sinking Rossmore, along with Rosa, and his brother,stood on the deck watching the commotion. Rosa knew they'd never let the boys get into a lifeboat with her. They were considered men, afterall. Hoping to stay together, they grabbed each other's hand as the water leaped up over them.Rosa was rescued by another boat floating nearby-but she never saw her sons again.
Rossmore's body was found by the recovery ship Mackay-Bennett. He was too disfigured to be embalmed and was buried at sea. In his pocket they found his Anthony Medal.
