Music Teacher Dies in School

Miss Winifred Bodie, public school music teacher in Tanglewood and Rowland-Norment schools here, collapsed and died in the teacher lounge at Tanglewood this morning about 10:30 o’clock, apparently of a heart attack.

Miss Bodie, 60, had taught here for two years and was beginning her third year; she made her home in an apartment at the home of Mrs. John C. Fuller on Elm Street.

She had told associates earlier today that she did not feel well and had made an appointment with a physician. But she went to Tanglewood to teach this morning and died before meeting her class.

Her widely scattered family has been notified of the death, but no funeral arrangements have yet been made. The body is at Biggs Funeral Home here.

A brother, Rev. O. K. Bodie of Rural Hall, is described as her next of kin. Other survivors include a brother, J. J. Bodie of Thomasville, and a sister, Mrs. C. H. Brown of Troy.
