ROOK, ROBERTA JANE
(Nov 1920, Sayre Newspaper, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
CHILD DIED VERY SUDDENLY
Three Year Old Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Rook Died Sunday
Roberta, little three-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Rook, died
on Sunday afternoon after an illness of little more than one day.  While
the little girl was sick Saturday it was not until late that night that
her condition really became serious, and then medical aid proved unable to
cope with the disease.  Membraneous croup, so frequently fatal with
children, was the trouble.
Funeral services were held on Tuesday, conducted by Rev. J. L. Haddock, of
Erick, with interment at the Doxey-Sayre cemetery.
The bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of all Sayre and vicinity
in their hour of bereavement.
(5 Nov 1920, Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Rook of Sayre, former citizens of
Carter, were indeed sorry to hear of the death of their little three year
old daughter, who died at that city Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
While the little one had not been well for several days, she was not
thought to have been in a serious condition until just a few hours before
she died, when she was taken worse, and was found to be very ill with
diptheria.
The funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
The grief stricken parents have the sympathy of their many Carter friends
in their bereavement.
