Arizona Death Certificate

Louesa Bee Harper, the daughter of Harvey John and Louesa Park Harper, was born in Big Cottonwood, Utah on the 18th day of April 1868. She pioneered to Arizona with her parents and family in the winter of 1880. In Lehi she met Joseph Higbee Rogers and they grew up together in this community of Lehi, Arizona. They were married on the tenth of June 1888 and moved to Mesa in 1893. In 1898 with their first four children they made the trip to St. George, Utah to go to the Temple. This being done on the 20th of September 1898.

Louesa Bee Harper Roger's enthusiastic devotion to her family and Church was outstanding. She was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the 30th of June 1877 and confirmed a member the first of July 1877. Raising the family and keeping a happy home for them was a full time job but never did she refuse to accept a position in the Church. She held positions in Primary, Mutual (now called Young Men's and Young Women's) and later in Relief Society, being President in 1914. In July 1915, she was appointed as an associate delegate from the National Women's Relief Society to the International Congress of Genealogy held in San Francisco, California. This appointment was signed by Emmeline B. Wells, President, and Amy Brown Lyman, Secretary of the General Board of Relief Societies, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Similar to all pioneers, Louesa Bee Rogers possessed a background true to history in the lore of the pioneering of the west and wrote many of her life's experiences which tell of the joys and sorrows in helping to reclaim the desert, making friends with the Indians, giving help and kindness to the sick and needy. Her hobbies were varied: sewing, rug making, crocheting, writing and homemaking; showing that service to others is the true key to happiness. Her testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Plan of Salvation is clearly emphasized in the manner in which she lived. She prayed that she might think right that she could live right. Her last words were her firm belief in the Church and her desire to remain true and faithful and worthy of a place in our Father's Kingdom in Heaven.

Louesa Bee Harper died the 25th of June 1953, and she is buried in the Mesa City Cemetery. A true and devoted Latter-day Saint and mother in Zion.

Louesa had eight children. This one is missing from the list. She had a daughter who died in infancy. Alta Ione Rogers, born 30 January 1900 and died 31 August 1900.
