Roxie died February 27 or 28, 1908 of complications after the birth of her son John Hubert Metcalfe. According to her obituary in the old Fort Worth Record, Roxie's funeral was held in the house of her sister Maggie Graham.

Roxie's obituary says she is buried at Oakwood, but the cemetery office has no record of her. It is my guess that she is buried in the Graham family plot with her parents and sister.


From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Friday, February 28, 1908, p. 11:

Miss Roxie Metcalf, 18 years old, died Thursday after a short illness of pneumonia. The funeral will be held from the family home, 808 West Magnolia avenue.


From the Dallas Morning News, Friday, February 28, 1908, p. 7:

Fort Worth, Tex., Feb. 28 -- Mrs. Roxie Metcalf, aged 18 years, died this morning at 1:30 o'clock at the family home, corner Main and Murphy streets. The remains are being held by the Fort Worth Undertaking Company, pending arrival of relatives, at which time arrangements for the funeral will be made.
