The Lake Odessa Wave, Friday, April 23, 1920
Sadness prevailed over several homes when the news of the death of Mrs. Edith 
Ketcham Rogers was received here by her friends last week.  For some time the 
Rogers family have been living in Detroit where Mr. Rogers is employed, but 
formerly were Lake Odessa people well known throughout the town and vicinity.  
Mrs. Rogers leaves besides her husband and two children of Detroit, a mother 
and brother here—-the mother being Mrs. Charles Buche and the brother James 
Ketcham.

Edith Ketcham was born in Odessa, December 16, 1889 and departed this life at 
her home in Detroit, April 14, 1920, aged 30 years, 3 months and 29 days.  
December 18, 1907 she was united in marriage to Clark Rogers.  To this union 
were born two children, Glenn C., aged 10 years, and Evelyn Madge, aged 8 
years; beside the husband and two children she leaves a mother and one brother 
with a large circle of other relatives and friends to mourn her early 
departure.

Our dear Edith, she has left us,
No more we’ll see her here; 
But the memory of her presence
Will ever linger near.

The funeral was held at the Congregational church Saturday afternoon, a large 
crowd in attendance.  The pastor, Rev. A. H. Lash, preached and Mrs. Harley 
Owen and Mrs. A. J. Dann, accompanied by Mrs. Leon Gilson, sang.  Burial was 
at Lakeside cemetery amid a profusion of flowers.

Card of Thanks

We wish to express our thanks to all our kind friends and neighbors for the 
beautiful flowers and to those who furnished autos, the minister for his 
comforting words and to those who sang, during the death and burial of our 
dear wife and mother.

Mr. Clarks Rogers and family
Mrs. Chas. Buche
Mr. and Mrs. James Ketcham
