"Samuel G. Rogers M.D.
-----------------------------
Dr. Samuel G. Rogers, for years one of the popular physicians and surgeons of Henry Co. as well as one of its best citizens, was born at Milton, Wayne Co. Indiana Dec. 10, 1856. His parents removed to New Castle Indiana in 1858 and here he was reared and grew to manhood. He received his elementary education in the common schools of New Castle and later attended DePauw University, completing his studies there in June of 1881.
He at once entered upon the study of medicine with Dr. V. G. Smith at Lewisville, Indiana and afterward completed the courses at Bennett Medical College, Chicago and the Indiana Eclectic Medical College at Indianapolis, receiving a diploma from the latter in the Spring of 1885.
Dr. Rogers began his active career as a physician at Lewisville as a partner of Dr. Smith (his brother in law). This partnership lasted two years and gave to the young Dr. a large experience in his chosen field.
After the termination of his contract at Lewisville, Dr. Rogers and his wife, much to the regret of their new friends, removed to the village of Nettlecreek of Wayne Co. a thickly settled Quaker neighborhood. Here from the first, he had a very successful career.
After a stay of nearly three years at this place, he removed his office and family to Mooreland Henry Co., but four miles distant, in order to have railroad facilities. At Mooreland where he remained for more than six years, he was unusually fortunate in securing a large business and was also a leading citizen and town official.
As the strain of heavy country practice was wearing on the Dr's physical system, in Nov. 1892, he removed with his family to New Castle where for several years he was engaged in the drug trade during which time he was forced by former patrons to give medical aid and advice.
In March 1900, Dr. Rogers removed to the beautiful old homestead just west of New Castle, he having previously purchased the interests held by his brothers and sisters. This homestead contains 213 acres mostly of rich bottom and grass lands making it thus a fine grain and stock farm.
When the writer visited this place, the Dr. had just completed a fine bank barn, a modern structure to take the place of one destroyed by fire. The breeding and raising of fine cattle, hogs and horses, is a specialty at "Valley View", the beautiful and suggestive name given to this sightly home.
Dr. Samuel G. Rogers was joined in marriage June 10, 1885 at Indianapolis Indiana to Miss Kate D. Record, a highly estimable and cultured lady of that city whose acquaintence he had formed while residing there as a medical student.
Their married life has been more than usually happy and congenial. To them have been born three children: The oldest, Wilbur D, age 15, is now in his second year of highschool. Sallie Maurine, who died when three weeks old, and Joseph Thomas a bright boy of ten years.
Dr. and Mrs. Rogers are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is one of the stewards and for several years was treasurer of the church. Socially, he and his wife mingle with the best informed and most respected residents of New Castle and vicinity. In politics, Dr. Rogers has always taken an active interest and is a staunch Republican."
