"Rockdale, my hometown, is Texas' heart and significant part of its soul," George Sessions Perry wrote in his book, Texas: A World Unto Itself. Perry wrote with lifelong affection about his hometown, first as a novelist and later as a magazine journalist. He describes the pioneers of Rockdale as typical of restless Southerners who hitched their wagons and moved to Texas after the Civil War. . . . Clay Coppedge . . .

1915 :: Death of Mrs. E.H. Wynne
After a long period of suffering Mrs. E.H. Wynne passed away Tuesday afternoon and the funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the First Methodist church, the pastor officiating. Burial was in the City cemetery. Mrs. Wynne before her marriage was Miss Rasberry and was for many years a teacher in the public schools of her home town, Rockdale. She was prominent in church and social work and her demise is mourned by a wide circle of friends.
Mrs. Wynne was confined to her bed from the first of February, the physicians preparing her for a serious surgical operation which was never undertaken on account of her weakened condition which gradually diminished until the end came. . . . Rockdale Reporter and Messenger, June 10, 1915
