Rosebud News, Rosebud, Texas, Friday, April 19, 1963, Page 4, Col. 4: Mrs. Elenora Aycock, Prominent citizen, Buried Here Sunday. Mrs. Elenora Aycock, 73, who had been a resident of Rosebud for more than 50 years and prominently identified with civic and cultural affairs here, died at 4:30 a.m. Saturday. She suffered a stroke two months ago and had been seriously ill and confined to the Rosebud Hospital and Clinic about three weeks prior to her death.
Mrs. Aycock had lived in Rosebud since 1910, when she married Dr. Fred E. Aycock in Rogers, where she was born. Dr. Aycock practiced medicine here until his death in 1939.

She was also a past member of the Eastern Star Chapter here. Elenora was a remarkable woman and was ageless. She was at ease and fit into any age group. In order to take her place in Society she kept abreast of the times and had a keen interest in world and local affairs.
