Rogers, Rece H.
Rece H. Rogers, sixty-three, a preacher of the gospel, passed away suddenly February 18, 1956, at his home in Altamont, Tenn. He had moved to Altamont three months before and was working with the church there and helping other congregations in the area. He had preached on the Lords day and taught two Bible classes during the week before he died early Saturday morning. Without warning death came as a result of a heart attack while he stood talking with two men who were inspecting one of his farm outbuildings which had been damaged by high winds. Brother Rogers was born January 29, 1893, at McMinnville, Tenn., the son of Greek and Maggie Rogers. He was a product of Christian education. He attended Potter Bible College, Bowling Green, Ky.; the Nashville Bible School, Nashville, Tenn.; and Abilene Christian College, Abilene, Texas. His work as a gospel preacher, in located work and in meetings, led him into Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. A capable song leader, he led singing in numerous meetings through the years. In May, 1917, S. P. Pittman said the ceremony which united him and Miss Lena Burger Woodlee in marriage. She and their two daughters, Mrs. J. B. Barnes, of Murfreesboro, Tenn. and Mrs. Charles Chumley, of Nashville, survive. Funeral services were conducted from the High Funeral Home in McMinnville, Tenn., with A. J. Rollings, S. P. Pittman, and John W. High officiating. Seven young people from Athens Bible School, Athens, Ala., sang. He was buried in Armstrong Cemetery near McMinnville. Brother Rogers was an energetic and tireless worker. A man who made friends easily, he was always concerned about helping others who were sick or in need of aid. Many tell of his eagerness to assist people, even endangering his own life on more than one occasion to get help for others. His family ties were particularly strong, and he was seldom happier than when surrounded by his two daughters and their families. This writer has never known the more or less conventional father-in-law, son-in-law relationship. My relation with Brother Rogers has been that of a close friend and brother. A host of friends and loved ones mourn his passing. But sadness is tempered by hope as the benediction of his life continues to influence those of us who have known and loved him here. The passing of such men adds meaning to Gods promise of life with him throughout eternity.
