CHARLES HENRY RODEN

  Charles Henry Roden died in the Somerset Community Hospital, Friday, October 
22, 1943, where he had been a patient for 13 days.  His death was caused by 
bronchial pneumonia, following a gall bladder operation.  His age was 71 years, 
11 months and 4 days.
  He was a son of Heinrich Roden of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Wilhelmina Huppert Roden 
of Hanover, Switzerland, and was a native of Pennsylvania, and is believed to 
have been born in Bedford County.
  In 1895 he was united in marriage with Flora Della Grove whose parents, Mr. 
and Mrs. Wesley Grove, lived near Salisbury more than 40 years ago.  His wife 
preceded him in death a long time ago.  He is survived by two daughters and a 
son, namely, Mrs. Alice Louise Stenner of Canton, Ohio, Mrs. Cora Marie Schwab 
of Washington, D.C., and Harry Roden of West Salisbury.
  Mr. Roden was a well-known coal miner of the Elk Lick Region for many years, 
and for about 30 years worked in mines operated by C. K. Bowman.  During the 
last few years, however, he was in poor health, lived all alone near the village 
of Springs, and cared for some horses for Mr. Bowman during a portion of his 
time.
  Funeral services were conducted at 4:30 p.m., at the funeral parlor of 
Mortician Stanley M. Thomas, Salisbury, by Rev. Ira S. Monn.  Interment was in 
the Salisbury I.O.O.F. Cemetery, under the direction of Mortician Thomas.
