Obit For Virgil Rodgers
Headline Died
Text On June 6, 1907, Virgil, son of Jas. P. and Sarah J. Rodgers, died of pneumonia, age 18 years, 3 months and 28 days, at the home of his parents on Shoal Creek, near the Morton Mill. His remains were laid to rest in the Corsicana Cemetery. He was a very lovable young man, possessed of splendid traits of character that endeared him to his parents, relatives and friends.

His declarations before dying in an unfeigned belief in the one true and living God was a great satisfaction and consolation to the loved ones left behind. He said before passing away, "I do love my dear old mother, but I love Jesus best - best of all. Don't grieve for me, mother, I am going home to Heaven."
