"The Roanoke Leader" -- Roanoke, Randolph Co., Alabama

NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, September 24, 1924

E.C. RORKE KILLED WHILE WORKING IN CLEARWATER

A telegram was received midafternoon on Tuesday by Mrs. E.C. Rorke, 
announcing that her husband had been killed by a pole falling on him while 
working for the Western Union Telegraph company at Clearwater, Fla. 

Instructions were wired that the body be shipped to Roanoke for burial. It 
is expected to arrive tomorrow. The wife and two children of the unfortunate 
man have been with the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Shanks, this 
city, the past month, after having spent a while in Florida. Mr. Rorke was 
well known in Roanoke, where he was employed several years by the Alabama 
Power Co. He came here from Cedartown, Georgia. His friends in Roanoke 
deplore his untimely end and the sorrow which has been brought upon his 
family.
