- Clarinda MILLER ROGERS, widow
of the late Rev. James C. ROGERS, was
- born at Otselic, Chenango county, N.Y.,
July 1, 1826, and died near Milton, Wis., Aug. 27, 1900.
- Sister ROGERS became a Christian
and Sabbath-keeper when quite young, and
- went to live with her uncle in Preston,
N.Y., where she might enjoy the privilege of keeping the Sabbath
and attending school. On March 12, 1844, she married James C.
ROGERS, and went to live in Waterford, Conn. After a short
time Mr. ROGERS decided to become a minister of the gospel,
and they moved to DeRuyter, N.Y., that he might secure the advantages
of the school at that place. Afterward they lived in West Hallock,
Ill., Edgerton, Rock River and Milton Junction, Wis., where he
was pastor of the several churches. These churches were poor,
and Sister ROGERS had the trials incident to the lack
of means that come to a minister's family under such circumstances.
To Mr. and Mrs. ROGERS were born three sons and two daughters,
of whom Thomas V., of Whitewater, Wis., and Mrs. Jennie GREENMAN,
of Milton, Wis., are living. Mrs. ROGERS home has been
with the daughter for the last eight years, which have been spent
with every comfort and pleasure that it was possible for her
to receive. Sister ROGERS was a woman of most excellent
Christian character. She has looked forward to her death with
the joy of a victor, and has talked about it as one would talk
of a pleasure journey he was about to make. She will be greatly
missed in this community. G. J. C. [Vol. 56, No. 37, p. 591]
