Rosser, Fannie B.

Fannie B. Rosser, a native of Lynchburg, Virginia, was the daughter of Edmond and Callie Rosser and sister of Maggie, Pansy, Joseph Irvin and James Boyd Rosser. Edmond Rosser was a porter for the Pullman Palace Car Company and the Rosser family apparently occupied a position of status and influence in the African American community of Lynchburg.

Rosser moved to Durham, North Carolina after being offered a position by the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company in September of 1914. For thirty-two years she was employed by the Mutual, owned rental properties in both Durham and Lynchburg, and lived in Durham for the remainder of her life.
