TA 3002 her attendant, Pearl Took, accidentally tipped Lalia out of her
wheelchair into her garden, and she died. (Lalia isn't on the Took family tree
published in The Lord of the Rings, but she is mentioned in The Letters of

son, Lotho. Lobelia had tried to claim Bag End together with Otho during
Bilbo's disappearance, but could only move in when Frodo sold it to her. Much
of Bilbo's silverware vanished during his disappearance; when Bilbo left the
Shire permanently, he gave Lobelia a box of silver spoons labeled "For
Lobelia, from Cousin Bilbo, as a present." During the War of the Ring she
opposed Saruman, and was imprisoned. Freed after the Scouring of the Shire,
Lobelia granted Bag End back to
Frodo, and moved back to her original family,
the Bracegirdles of Hardbottle. She died in 3020, and she was over 100 years
old.

of these Ruffians, Lotho was able to depose and imprison Will Whitfoot, the
Shire's lawful mayor, and declared himself Chief Shirriff. Under his command
the Shire was industrialised. Lotho began to call himself The Boss. However,
Lotho was soon stripped of his power, and Saruman took over. Saruman's servant
Gríma Wormtongue killed Lotho, and either buried Lotho — or ate him.

Lands later that year. 'Cotton' in Hobbitish is 'Hlothran'. In the film trilogy
Rosie lives at 10 Bagshot row and is played by Sarah McLeod.
"I
think the simple 'rustic' love of Sam and his Rosie (nowhere elaborated) is
absolutely essential to the study of his (the chief hero's) character, and to
the theme of the relation of ordinary life (breathing, eating, working,
begetting) and quests, sacrifice, causes, and the 'longing for Elves', and
sheer beauty." - J.R.R Tolkien letter dated 1951
