Obituary of Lucetta Frances Rogers Huston Bird

Thursday, 22 September 1927, Kansas (IL) Journal

Mrs. John Bird passed away suddenly Sunday morning about
6:30 o'clock at her home on North street.  Her death came
as a shock to her relatives and neighbors, as she had been
in good health until about a week ago when she fell,
causing an injury to her knee, but at no time did this
become serious.  A few moments before the end came Mr.
Bird was assisting his wife in dressing the injured
member, when she gasped and in a short time expired, death
resulting from a heart attack.

The funeral was conducted at the Presbyterian church
Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by the
pastor, the Rev. E. W. Kowalsky, assisted by Rev. H. C.
Munch.  Music was rendered by the Grandview male quartet.

Pall bearers were T. S. Wright, J. B. Cornwell, E. R.
Hutton, F. M. Vickrey, W. S. Wiley, B. H. Pinnell.

Interment was made in Grandview cemetery.

Lucetta Frances Rogers was born at Grandview May 12, 1858.
On February 20, 1890, she was married to Peter Huston who
passed away April 20, 1910.  Two children were born to
this union, Emma Ethel, of Tulsa, Okla. and Harlan Husto
of California.

On Dec. 9, 1944, the deceased was united in marriage with
John Bird of Kansas and has since made her home in this
city.

Mrs. Bird united with the Grandview Presbyterian church
several years ago and transferred her membership to the
local Presbyterian church Mar. 29, 1917.  She was a
devoted member of the home department of the Sunday school
and took a great interest in all activities of the church
whether she was in attendance or not.  When she was not
permitted to attend the regular church service on Sunay,
she always inquired as to the subject of the sermon and
the scripture lesson that she might read it from her
Bible.  She was a kind neighbor and friend and will be
greatly missed by all who knew her.

Besides her husband, Mrs. Bird leaves one brother, John A.
Rogers, of Little Rock, Ark., a half brother, Eli A.
Rogers of Charleston, one sister, Mrs. Mary Richey, and
many other relatives and friends.  A brother, George
Rogers, passed away three weeks ago.
