Word of the death of her brother, Jesse ROARK at Waterville, Washington was received by Mrs. JI Slater, 1501 W. Wabash Avenue here Friday evening. Mr. Roark was principal of the grade schools of Waterville, where he had lived and taught for several years. He was born in Boone County near Dover, Sept 4, 1875 and lived most of his life in that vicinity. A son, Lloyd B. Roark of Fort Wayne and a daughter, Mrs. Lucille Purcell of Indianapolis survive besides the sister. Mrs. Slater said Friday evening the body would probably be brought back here and buried in the family lot at the Dover Cemetery.
