Reynolds, Ga., April 20
BY JTA

Death has again invaded the community of Potterville, and robbed it of one 
of its brightest jewels.  Last Thursday as the sun was nearing the western 
slopes and throwing its lengthening shadows over the meadow, the sweet 
spirit of Theodosia Rodgers, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Rodgers, 
winged its flight from this world to the celestial city of God.

Theodosia was born June 3rd 1879, joined the Methodist church under the 
ministry of Rev. J. T. Mims September 19, 1893, died April 16, 1896.  She 
was sick about ten days with measles.  From the dates you see that she was 
just budding into womanhood, that period in life’s history which is so full 
of bright anticipations, and causes the heart of the parents to glow in 
radiant expectancy and increasing interest.  That age in life which caused 
her presence to scatter bright rays of sunshine upon the hearth-stone and 
fill the home life with sweet perfume.  She was the source of so much 
comfort and happiness to the father and mother and a living benediction to 
her brothers.  A sweet, good girl full of life and religion.  True to the 
church and all obligations resting on her.  

Her remains were buried in the cemetery nearby.  The funeral service was 
held by Rev. G. W. Childress.  May God comfort and bless the grief stricken 
family.


Additional Comments:
Theodosia is buried at Mount Olive Freewill Baptist Church Cemetery in 
Potterville, Taylor County, Ga.
