The death of Mrs. Mary H. Rogers, who has been a patient sufferer for many months, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Rimel, in Auburn, on Thursday evening, July 26th at 5:30 O'clock. Her age was 86 years, 6 months and 18 days.
Mary H. Rogers was born 8 January 1837, in Clay County, Missouri. Her maiden name was Sumner. On March 27, 1855, she was married to Ezra D. Rogers, who preceded her in death fifteen years. To this union eight children were born: Mrs. Laura E. Coons, Drain, Oregon; Mrs. Helen M. Rimel, Auburn; Mrs. Rosa L. Shubert, Shubert: Addie A Rogers, who died in infancy; Alva R. Rogers, Auburn; Roy D. Rogers, Nemaha, Mrs. Effie Duerfeldt, Nemaha, and W. E. Rogers, Nampa, Idaho. These with twenty-one grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren are left to mourn the lose of a devoted mother and loving grandparent. She was of a family of four children, of which she is the last to pass from the scenes of this life.
She was fortunate in having her children near, during the closing days of her life, and their filial devotion was beautiful to see. They were constantly at her bedside to cheer and comfort her during her many months of helplessness. One daughter, Mrs. Coons, came from her home in Oregon over a year ago to help her sister, Mrs. Rimel, to care for their mother.
W.E. Rogers. son of the deceased, of Nampa, Idaho, was unable to be present as the funeral of his mother.
Mrs. Rogers, with her husband, were pioneers of Nebraska, coming from Iowa in the spring of 1866, locating on a farm five miles south west of Nemaha. She saw Nebraska grow from a territory to its present influential position among the states.
Early in life she united with the Christian church. When Mrs. Rogers and her husband moved to Auburn they identified themselves with the church. She was faithful in attending both church and Sunday School and enjoyed the fellowship of the members.
When failing health prevented her attending the services she was always interested, and never forgot to contribute to the various activities of the church. She was a woman of good works, and always assisted her neighbors in time of sickness. She was a Bible student and enjoyed attending Sunday School. Her mind was bright and keen to the very end.
The Funeral was conducted fron the Christian Church on Saturday afternoon at 1:30 P.M., in charge was Rev. J.W. Sapp of Nemaha, assisted by Rev. B.F. Hall.
A quartette, consisting of Miss. Anna McQuary, Miss. Lela Argabright, George Coddington, and Rev. B. F Hall, with Harlan Smedley as accompanist, furnished music for the occasion. Burial took place at Prairie Union, the last sad rite being conducted by Rev. Sapp.
