Viola Ann Rogers, almost ninety-four years of age, passed away on January 2, 1961 at Central Louisiana State Hospital.
She married Daniel Webster "Dan" Rogers on September 13, 1885 in Union County, Arkansas. To this union the following children were born: Littleton Daniel "Lit" Rogers, Northen Crawford "Coot" Rogers, Coleman Younger "Cole" Rogers, Nellie Estelle Rogers, Dovie Sue Rogers, Brinon Lawrence Rogers, Gladys Marie Rogers, and Lillie Belle Rogers.
Viola spent most of her life, after her children were born, in the Pineville Insane Asylum (later renamed the Central Louisiana State Hospital), from about 1908 until her death in 1961.
Apparently the death of some of her children at a young age contributed to her instability. Her mother was a morphine addict who died when Viola was young.
Viola outlived everyone in her generation and several of her grandchildren.
She is survived by two children, Northen Crawford Rogers and Lillie Rogers Smith; six grandchildren, George Edward Rogers, Gerald Lee Rogers, Nellie Rogers Pittman, Reecy Delson Smith, Monte Belle Smith Cates, and Mary Lee Rogers Evers; and her great-grandchildren.
After repeated correspondence with officials at the hospital and the state level, it was ascertained that her patient records were destroyed.
She has a memorial marker (cenotaph) in the D. W. Rogers Family Plot in Pate Cemetery, just west of El Dorado, Arkansas. The photo of the stone is on the right.
She also has a memorial marker in the CLSH Cemetery, although her grave itself is unmarked. The hospital cemetery records list her as Patient I.D.# 162, Viola Rodgers, died Jan. 2, 1961. Both stones were placed by a daughter of Lillie Rogers Smith.
Her death certificate lists her name as Mrs. Dan Rogers..
