Bio
Mrs. Rodney Rathbun, the former Christina Peterson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Neil Peterson of Ord, died suddenly in a hospital in San Diego, which city has been her home in recent years. Taken ill a few weeks ago, the last reports from her had been quite favorable. Mr. and Mrs. Cash Rathbun, her parents-in-law, had gone to San Diego to be with her and her husband and to assist in the care of her three small children. The body will be brought to Ord for burial and will be accompanied by her husband, also Mr. and Mrs. Cash Rathbun and the children. Funeral plans are delayed pending the arrival, which will be the last of the week.
