July 1, 1928 JAMES RODGERS DIES OF INJURIES RECEIVED IN BLAIRSVILLE PLANT
Former Punxs�y Resident Died at 8 O�clock Last Night in Hospital
LIVED HERE UNTIL 2 YEARS AGO
James Rodgers, a resident of this city practically his entire life, died at 8 o�clock last evening in the Indiana Hospital of injuries received about 4 o�clock Monday afternoon in the foundry of the Connemaugh Iron Company at Blairsville.
While working at a considerable height in the foundry Mr. Rodgers fell and sustained a badly fractured skull. He was rushed to the Indiana hospital where death came four hours later.
Mr. Rodgers, who was about 44 years of age, was born and reared in this vicinity. He was employed for a considerable period by C. B. Gleckler in the old Rathskiller restaurant and later by David Chambers. More recently he had driven a dray about the city. Two years ago he went to Blairsville and during that time had been employed by the Connemaugh Iron Company.
He leaves his widow, who was formerly Miss Mary Richards, of Sportsburg, and five children. The following brothers and sisters also survive: Joseph, and Mrs. C. A. Baker, of this city; Mrs. Ursa Whitaker, of Lowellsvile, Ohio; Thomas, George and Walter, of Youngstown, Ohio, and Mrs. R. E. Stiver, of Pittsburgh.
Funeral arrangement have not been completed.
- BREFFITT posted by Noelle Oke on Thursday, September 28, 2000
- Searching for Robert Breffitt who married Eliza Mrs Breffitt (?) about 1865 at Brookville, Jefferson, Pennsylvania. This marriage is listed on the I.G.I. If he is my relative he would have been born in Cotgrave, Nottingham, England and be about 44 years of age at the time. OR it could be his father Robert snr, who would be in his sixties, also born in England but I am unsure of his birth place. Robert snr. was a soldier who disappeared before the 1841 U.K. census. He could have been posted to America and never returned, Just a guess but worth a try.
