MRS. RODROCK DIES
-----
Encephalitis Fatal to Former Pawnee County Resident on Visit Here.

Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Rodrock, 35, wife of William Rodrock of Mapleton, died at 3:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon at a local hospital from encephalitis or sleeping sickness. The funeral was held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock at the Beckwith mortuary.

Mrs. Rodrock was born in Mound City in 1900, but lived most of her life in Pawnee county. She came here with her parents in 1908, and lived here until her husband and family moved to Mapleton about four years ago.

She came to Pawnee county for a visit with relatives while Mr. Rodrock cared for his wheat harvest about three weeks ago. She was taken ill soon after with what was believed to be influenza. Two weeks ago she sank into a coma and was brought to the Larned hospital where her condition had been critical ever since.

She is survived by her husband and four children. Freda, 15, Marvel, 11, Gordon, 7, and Velma, 3, all of Mapleton; her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Milton, Mound City, Mrs. Gail Wyrick, Tuscumbia, Mo; Mrs. Huey Duncan, Thurston, Neb; and Mrs. Frank Minor, Mrs. Leon Rigg, and Mrs. Harve Unruh, all of Pawnee county; and two brothers, H. E. Milton, Paola, and LaVerne Milton of Mound City. Burial will be in the Lanard cemetery.
