The Edmonson County News
Death visited our community Saturday night April 28th , claiming Mrs. Chloe 
Rountree who has been ill at the home of Ernest W. Norene since September 10th 
of last year.

      Mrs. Rountree 38 years old was born November 26, 1889 in Brownsville, the 
daughter of Willis and Mrs. Bennett Lindsey, both now deceased.

      At the age of 14 she was united in marriage to Arthur Rountree and for 
the past several years resided in Indianapolis, Indiana.

      She is survived by one son, Dorris Rountree, who resides in Indianapolis, 
her only other child, Ned Rountree, was drowned in Indianapolis about four or 
five years ago, and by four sisters, Mrs. Ernest W. Norene, Mrs Payton Cook and 
Mrs. Lawrence Denham of Brownsville, amd Mrs. 
L. C. Ray of Louisville.

      Physicians pronounced her case incurable from the beginning of her fatal 
illness, but members of hrr immediate family exhausted every effort to save her 
life, even up to the end.

      Mrs. Rountree was among the finest of women, being for many years active 
in church and charitable work.  She was united with the Brownsville Baptist 
Church when she was about 12 years of age and has contributed free to it all 
along, even after she had moved from this community.

      The people of this community have universally expressed sorrow at the 
passing of this fine and generous woman.  Because of her gentle kindly 
disposition it would be hard to fine one more respected and loved.   One of 
her most outstanding traits was to avoid every appearance of difficulties with 
anyone.  It greatly distressed her to think that she might in any way hurt the 
feelings of one of her neighbors or friends or that she was a burden on anyone.

      Mr. Norene and members of his family have expressed to the writer 
appreciation for the kindly assistance rendered them by the many neighbors and 
friends who ministered to them during the prolonged illness of Mrs. 
Rountree.
