What does (c: Rosa) mean?

When I see Herman H (Alma E), I know to index Alma E as Herman's spouse. But I don't know what the (c: before Rosa) means. I'm seeing this quite often in this record. Any ideas?

Julia Szent-Györgyi

"Colored", I think.

Áine.ní.Donnghaile

Yes - standard for the time to indicate race in that way.
