Rodgers - Martha Grimes - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Mrs. Martha Grimes Rodgers, wife of Edward Rodgers, died at her home in Darlington Sunday morning aged 30 years after many weeks of suffering and patiently waiting for the end.  She had long been a sufferer from that dread disease, consumption. For some years she had been a member of the Lutheran Church and had lived a consistent Christian life so that death had no terrors, and her only regret was to leave husband, two small children, mother and brothers and sisters. Her funeral was held at the Lutheran Church east of town  Tuesday at 11 a.m. conducted by the pastor, Rev. Reese, assisted by Rev. A.L. West, burial in the cemetery adjoining. And no better evidence of the esteem in which she was held could be given than to see the large crowd that followed her remains to the church and burial. – kbz
