Mrs. Cora Rodgers, aged 18, passed away at Chamberlain hospital, Rockwood, Monday night at 8:30 o'clock as a result of premature child birth.

The deceased was the wife of Harvey Rodgers of Roxton, Texas.  They came here from Texas about three months ago and Mr. Rodgers was working for his uncle, L. T. Stanley, who operates a shuttle block plant in Crossville.

Mrs. Rodgers was taken to Rockwood last week and her condition continued to grown worse until she passed away Monday night. The couple had been married approximately two years.  The body was shipped to Texas Tuesday afternoon for burial.

Many expressions of sympathy were heard by Crossville citizens when it became known that Mrs. Rodgers had passed away.  The body was prepared for shipment at the mortuary of Bilbrey Brothers.  It was noticeable that when a few of our people viewed the remains there was evidence of deep grief on their faces as they contemplated the beautiful bride of less than two years lying in the cold grasp of death.
