JOHN W. ROGERS AND EFFIE SCOTT ROGERS
John Wesley Rogers was born August 30, 1876, in Searcy, Arkansas, to Eva and Jacob "Jake" Isaac Rogers. They moved to Nolan County in the late 1890's. Jake Rogers ran one of the first gins in Sweetwater located by a small creek in the vicinity of Bowie Street.
Effie Jane Scott was the oldest child of Nolan County pioneers, Sarah Jane and Henry G. Scott. Effie was born March 19, 1882, in Hunt County, Texas. She moved to Nolan County in 1887 with her parents and two sisters, Zotie and Dora. They rode the train out west leaving Commerce and arriving in Sweetwater. Henry had a half dugout waiting for them in the Bitter Creek Community. From the depot they took a wagon over the old Bitter Creek Trail southeast of Sweetwater to their mountain ranch. In the late 1890's, the Scott's moved north to what is known as the Scott homeplace of Nolan County. Here Effie grew into a young lady helping her mother care for the younger children and becoming an excellent cook.
John W. Rogers and Effie Scott were marred on June 5, 1904, in Sweetwater. For a number of years, they lived at Wingate. Then they moved back to Nolan County to the Roe Ranch and Sweetwater. In 1923, the family moved to Floydada for several years. Then they moved to Crowell. There on the plains, they farmed.
The Rogers family returned to Nolan County about 1928 to a farm northwest of Sweetwater. The younger children attended and completed school in Sweetwater, with Elliott being a star football player in the early 1930's.
John Rogers ranched and farmed in Nolan County until his death on July 21, 1945. Effie continued to live in Sweetwater. She was a member of Fourth & Elm Church of Christ. She was active in quilting, sewing, cooking and canning. She and her sister, Zotie Scott, shared a small house where they raised a garden, a few chickens and ducks, and a grape arbor. Effie enjoyed playing 84. She died on April 19, 1955. Both John ad Effie were buried in Sweetwater Cemetery.
John and Effie Rogers had six (6) children:
(1) Earl Byron Rogers (b. 1905), married Henriette Duke in 1931. They lived in Dallas where Byron died in 1951.
(2) Lula Mae Rogers (b. 1906 at Wingate), married Hudson Lincoln in 1925. Their home is in Sweetwater.
(3) Henrilee Rogers (b. 1908 at Wingate), married Haden Puckett in 1925. They have also made Sweetwater their home.
