Rostine, Della Mae, 1905-2003
Della Mae Rostine moved with her husband Rocco to Las Vegas from Missouri in 1942. After living for a year in Las Vegas, they moved to Henderson so her husband could work in construction at the Basic Magnesium plant. She later worked there briefly as a machinist. The plant later became Rheem Manufacturing. "The timing of the Rostine Family's arrival and the fact that they stayed and made a permanent home in Henderson led to their designation as one of Henderson's 'founding families'".
