The Alabama Courier   January 24, 1946
 Mrs. Jessie Griggs Rogers, age 54 years, 7 months and 24 days, passed away 
Saturday, January 19, at 9 o'clock a.m., at her late home on Athens route two. 
Although she had been in failing heath for several years and was confined to 
her room seven weeks, her death came as a shock to her many friends and 
relatives. She drank her morning coffee as usual then after a few sinking 
spells, like the ones she had for several years, she passed on.
 Mrs. Rogers belonged to the Church of Christ for many years, was truly a 
Christian woman, loved by all who knew her, and was ever ready to lend a 
helping hand whenever she could.
 Last rites were held Sunday at 2 p.m. by Bro. Irven Lee in the auditorium of 
Clements High School. Interment was in Poplar Creek cemetery, Spry directing. 
 Survivors other than the husband John Rogers, are; one son, Willie, Athens 
route 2; seven daughters, Mesdames Joe Woodfin, Emmitt Black, and Alfred Garner 
of Athens route five, Brece Barley, Joe Rogers, Houston Young, and Billy 
Williamson of Athens route two; mother, Mrs D.W. Griggs, Athens route 2; seven 
sisters, Mesdames M.E. Woodfin, Harvest route 2, Price Young, Hazel Green route

Cal Stanford, Athens route 5; two brothers, Gilbert of Evansville, Ind., and
