Rogers - Martha Grimes
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Review 21 June 1901
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
