Harry B and Rosa Barth Piatt

Hymore "Harry" B Piatt was born to Michael H and Eliza D Kirk Piatt in March 1850 in Ohio and died on May 5, 1936, in St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri. He is listed on some St. Louis city directories as 'Henry B Piatt'. He was married to Rosa Barth. Rosa was born in November 1856 in Pennsylvania and died in 1925. He is the only son listed by his daughter, Beatrice Piatt Kochs, for Michael and Eliza. However, other evidence says there was a son, Harry L Piatt who was 20 years his junior. I think he may have been adopted.

Harry and Rosa had the following known children:

Some confusion existed about the residence of these children in 1936 when their father died. His will had been written years earlier and some of their residences could have changed before it was probated in 1936. For example, Trix is shown as residing in Nashville, TN, in 1936 but in reality had been working for the New Mexico Department of Highways in Santa Fe, NM, for 5 years. She did spend 4 years working for the Nashville Banner newspaper in Nashville, TN from about 1923 to about 1927.

Here is how Harry appeared in various St. Louis City Directories:
