~ NOTE: On 28 November 1905 young "Percy's" remains are of record being interned within his father's newly constructed Rogers Mausoleum at the newly created Mount Hope cemetery, Jasper county, Missouri, THEREFORE this site became a CENOTAPH along with its later placed grave markers.
Birth: in Phoenix, Oswego county, New York, hometown of his mother.
Census(Kansas): 1885, age 2 Wyandotte(as of March 1886, Kansas City), Wyandotte county, Kansas with parents & younger brother, father a banker.
~ Apparently his mother, "Kitty", returned home in Phoenix, Oswego county, New York to birth their first born with second born in Wyandotte county, Kansas where father, "A H" Rogers, reportedly operated the bank he had organized, Bank of Wyandotte, as cashier (chief operating officer) until "Percy's" paternal grandfather died, 22 November 1885 in Wyandotte city, Wyandotte county, Kansas, buried at the towns Oak Grove cemetery, family then spending a year in Kansas City, Jackson county, Missouri father as clerk at Citizens' National Bank [Full name "Citizens' National Bank and Depository of the United States"] before father removed his young family to Springfield, Greene county, Missouri.
At Springfield, father was cashier (chief operating officer) at the Bank of Springfield with other interests, such as: owner of the Lincoln Caverns named by its discoverer, John Greer Knox; formerly Knox Cave, Ku Klux Klan Cave, he renamed it as Percy Cave, for their first born, later known as Temple Caverns now known as the Fantastic Caverns. This, in part, according to information received July 2014 from Jeff Campbell's research, to wit: "Under his supervision Percy Cave became the third commercial cave to have electric lights. He also built an amazing lodge (destroyed in 1952) which also used electricity and had running water."

Death: In Springfield, Greene county, Missouri, NO Missouri Death Certificate found.
Burial site: Percy's father, according to cemetery records 26 AUG 2014, A H Rogers, purchased the twelve sites in Block 21, Lot 1 July 1887, being after his son was buried 14 APR. The cemetery records have Caroline H Coburn's death as 22 FEB 1887, but interment in 1889, and her husband James Coburn was later in 27 FEB 1893, all three in said Block 21, Lot 1. Eighteen years later, 28 NOV 1905, father is removing his son's remains to his newly built Rogers Mausoleum at Mount Hope cemetery, Webb City, Missouri. To me it is very obvious that Percy's stones were placed long after his initial burial!
