The fourth of five children born to Henry and Susan Antoinette (Hersey) Rogers, Jr., her father was co-owner of the Boston Journal newspaper.
Susan suffered the loss of her father when she was seven and her mother two years later when she was nine. Her parents, however, left Susan and her three sisters, Josephine, Addie, and Mary financially well provided for. The children moved from Milton, MA to Boston prior to the 1860 Census, where her then 18-year-old sister Josephine was listed as head of the household, which also included their maternal grandmother Susan Hersey, age 65, Elizabeth Swift, their 40-year-old housekeeper, and Kate Kelly, a 30-year-old Irish domestic servant. Sadly her sister Mary died at 16 in 1862 and sister Josephine at 22 in 1864, both from Tuberculosis.
Susan, then 16, and her sister Addie, then 18, show in the 1865 Massachusetts Census residing in Roxbury, MA. The next record is her Jan. 5, 1867 marriage to George Williams Bangs, a 21-year-old Clerk and son of Freeman and Susan (Griffith), at Braintree, MA. Susan was a resident of Brookline at the time of her wedding. Susan and George were listed in the 1870 Census as residing in Newton, MA with their daughter Mary Rogers Bangs, born Aug. 8, 1868. George's occupation was listed as a Banker.
Susan was 23 when she died of Tuberculosis at Nassau, the Bahamas, the death notice being posted in the Monday, Dec. 19, 1870 edition of the Boston Journal. Her funeral was held on Dec. 20th at the Church of the Unity on Newton St., Boston. The 1880 Census indicates her daughter Mary, then 12, as residing with her maternal aunt Susan A. Bangs, 38 and unmarried, at Brewster MA. Susan's husband would have likely not been in residence at the time as he was by then employed as a Commercial Traveler who died in a drunken fall over a staircase railing in Cincinnati, OH on Dec. 2, 1883.
Susan's daughter Mary Rogers Bangs never married. She took at least two trips to Europe, one to England and the other to Italy. She was the author of three books, all published by Houghton Mifflin, including a 1910 biography of Joan of Arc titled "Jeanne D'Arc: The Maid of France," a 1912 novel "High Bradford," and a 1920 history titled "Old Cape Cod, The Land, The Men, the Sea." There is reason to believe she was still living as late as 1951, when a Mary R. Bangs was listed in the Boston city directory residing at 66 Chestnut St., the same address showing in the 1946 directory. Information from Paul Stephens, Find a Grave contributor, indicates Mary died at Belmont, MA on Oct. 2, 1956.
