The 'Russell County News'
Thursday, March 23, 1944
(in the 'West Russell Springs' community newsletter)


  This community was greatly shocked Saturday morning when the news was
spread about the death of Mrs. Myrtie Rooks, wife of Garfield Rooks, who
died suddenly Friday night at her home in this part near Sinclair's
Store. The father and children have our sympathy. The remains were laid
to rest at Freedom church near Bailey's store on Sunday evening. Funeral
was conducted by Rev. Everett Bryant and Rev. J.L. Kimbler with M.L.
Grissom [Funeral Home] in charge of the remains. This mother has two
boys in the armed services, one across who could not be at the funeral
of his mother. The other boy was present.

Transcriber's notes: The KY death record abstracts indicate Mrs. Rooks
died on March 11, 1944; that she was 50 years of age; that her middle
initial was L.; and that she was a resident of and died in Adair Co. The
transcription of her grave marker in 'Cemeteries of Adair County,
