R. E. RODGERS DEAD

  Robert Earl Rodgers, the young son of Mr. and Mrs. David Rodgers, 
Pennsylvania avenue, died early yesterday morning from pneumonia.  
Another brother died last Tuesday from typhoid fever, which makes the 
Rodgers home doubly bereaved.  The young man was born here Nov. 7, 1902 
and will be remember as the bright young messenger for the Western 
Union Telegraph company some time back.  Prior to his last illness he 
was employed at the Fuller plant in the commissary department.  He was 
a member of Troop C, Tyrone Boy Scouts of America and of the First 
Methodist Episcopal Sunday school.  He leaves his parents and a twin 
brother, Ralph.  Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 
o'clock in charge of Rev. A. S. Fasick pastor of the First Methodist 
Episcopal church.  Private.  Interment in Franklinville cemetery.
