- At Mendota, near Madison, Wis., Feb.
27, 1900, Mrs. Asenath B., widow of the late
- Ezekiel B. ROGERS, of Milton,
aged 81 years, lacking one day.
- Mrs. ROGERS was the daughter
of Dea. Luther OSGOOD, Sr., and was born in
- the town of Preston, Chenango county,
N.Y., Feb. 28, 1819. Her family were First-day people, but
she was led to the observance of the Sabbath, when quite young,
by the reading of a little poem written in 1820 by Mrs. Rebekah
K. PLATTS, and published a little later in the "Protestant
Sentinel". On Christmas Day, 1842, she was married to
Ezekiel B. ROGERS, and shortly after they moved to Wisconsin,
where they continued to reside until after Mr. ROGERS
death, a little more than three years ago. Only one son, Dr.
Fred D. ROGERS, remains to mourn the loss of father and
mother. Mrs. ROGERS was a woman of rare spirit, and
throughout her long residence in Milton, in the home, in the
church, and in society, she performed a noble part, leaning upon
the everlasting arms, and receiving at last the reward of a faithful
servant. L. A. P. [Vol. 56, No. 11, p. 175]
