In reference to finding the obituary of Mary Lois Rice Rooke in The Elizabethton Star (Tennessee) newspaper, my cousin commented that her grandmother died there too:
"Could you look for my grandmother's there in Elizabethton also. She was Bessie Estelle Jones. We didn't get to go to her funeral back in 1976."
