Mrs. Rogers was born in Weakley County. She was the daughter of Mr. Gleason, a pioneer resident of that country for whom the town of Gleason was named. While a little girl her parents moved to Dresden and there she was reared. Last October sixty years ago, she was united in marriage to Mr. Rogers. From Dresden they came to Obion County and located in the country near Reelfoot Lake. That was forty years ago, in 1866. A family of children were reared only one of whom survived - Mrs. Jennie Lee Taylor, with whom Mrs. Rogers spent her last days.
The deceased was 70 years of age last September. She was for many years a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Antioch, transferring her member ship after moving to Union City some years ago. In years gone by when they lived in the country the Rogers home was one of the best known in the county.

The metropolis of the country and the nearest trading point. Far and wide was the reputation of their hospitality and kindness, and many were the friends who enjoyed a visit with them.
Mrs. Rogers was truly a good, Christian woman. She was like the mothers of old, strong in character, generous, kind-hearted, always ready in time of need with a helping hand and a willing heart. Such a life is a blessing to the race and an influence for good which cannot be fully estimated.
