Mrs. Rebecca Poe Died Monday

Death Occurred At The Home Of Mr. E.L. Rogers In This City

Mrs Rebecca Rogers Poe passed from this life on Monday afternoon, August 22nd. 
Half past one o’clock, at the residence of her brother, Mr. E.L. Rogers.

She had suffered for several years past, but was always hopeful and cheerful 
under most trying circumstances, and ever ready to lend a helping hand to 
others. In early life she was married to Col. Norman Poe, son of Judge 
Washington Poe, of Macon, who belonged to the same Virginia family with Edgar 
Allen Poe of literary fame. He lived only two years, and after a widowhood of 
several years, she was united in marriage to his brother, Mr. Edward Poe, who 
onlt lived one week afterward. Although her life was thus darkly shadowed on 
the threshold of its happiness and usefulness, her chief comfort lay in 
ministering to her father in his old age, and to him she was a blessing indeed.

She had been a member of the Methodist Church for many years, and conscious of 
her physical infirmities, her guileless spirit was made perfect through 
suffering.

Beside her twin sister, Miss Mollie Rogers, she has left to mourn her loss Mrs. 
W.E.H. Searcy, of Griffin, Mrs. Eugene Speer, of Washington, D.C., Warren A 
Rogers, Thomas Rogers of Arkansas, Harry Rogers of Griffin, and E.L. Rogers of 
Barnesville.

Her gentle presence will be missed from the community, but her friends and 
neighbors feel that their loss is her eternal gain, for instead of suffering, 
she is reaping the rich reward promised to those who endure to the end. - L.K.R.
