The following is from Find-A-Grave member John Grabenstein:
In memory of A. S. Rogers, one of the eleven Founders of the Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity, formed at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, on Friday evening, November 2, 1883. As of November 2015, Phi Delta Chi has grown to 99 collegiate Chapters and initiated over 61,000 men and women (www.phideltachi.org).
Arthur Sidney Rogers (1862-1932) was born on July 4,1862, in Juniata, MI, to George and Salina Rogers. His father was a grocery store owner. His mother was a homemaker. Early in Arthur’s life, his mother passed away. His father, George, raised him and his siblings by himself. To give Arthur a better life, his father allowed him to be adopted by Dr. Richard and Josephine Morris of Watrousville, MI. Dr. Morris was a physician and surgeon. Arthur attended school in Watrousville and Vassar, other towns in Tuscola County. After graduation, he taught school in Watrousville for a year. In 1882, he entered the school of pharmacy at the University of Michigan. He received his PhC in 1885 and started work as a prescription clerk for Eagle Drug Store in East Saginaw. He returned to Ann Arbor in 1886 for one year to study medicine. He took a job in 1887 as pharmacist in East Saginaw. This was his last job as a pharmacist.
Brother Rogers returned to the University of Michigan and entered the department of medicine and surgery. He received his MD in 1890 and became the assistant to the professor of pathology. He also kept a general practice office in Vassar. In 1897, he married his wife, Nellie M. Johnson of Vassar. They did not have children. It was also about this time he returned to Ann Arbor for specialty training in eye, ear, nose and throat diseases. He then spent time as the assistant to the professor in ophthalmology and studied a year in New York City. He then returned to Saginaw where he conducted his own EENT practice until his death. He became well known as a skilled specialist in his field.
Brother Rogers died December 4, 1932, at age 70, of injuries received in an automobile accident. The accident which resulted in his death occurred while on a call to a patient. His earlier training was supplemented in 1911 by a trip to Vienna for additional study. His death was noted in JAMA 1933(Jan 14):133.
Brother Rogers was an ardent sportsman, especially interested in fishing and hunting. He was also much interested in horses and owned a number of race horses that were frequently entered in races in his part of the state. His love of sports and of his profession may have led to his untimely death in an auto accident. He had gone to a cottage on a lake to obtain some hunting equipment. He planned to leave the cottage on Higgins Lake to return to Saginaw before dark, but delayed his departure to examine a patient brought to him at the lake suffering from ear trouble. To avoid a crash with an approaching auto, the Doctor pulled his car off the pavement, it overturned and his skull was fractured.
Brother Rogers was a member of the Saginaw County Medical Society; the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology and other professional associations, besides several fraternal and social organizations, including the Masonic Order, the Knights Templar, Elf Khurapeh Shrine, Merlin Grotto, the Elks and the Germania Society. Grave: Forest Lawn Cemetery, Saginaw, section 9, lot 396.
