The news of the sudden death of Mrs. Rodgers, widow of Rear Admiral John Rodgers, was a great shock to her numerous friends in this city, where she has so long resided and was so well known, both in social circles and for her interest and activity in different charitable works. Mrs. Rodgers sailed for Europe May 1, accompanied by her two daughters, to spend the summer abroad, but died at sea Sunday, the 9th of May, just before the arrival of the vessel at her destination. It is understood her remains will be brought back to Washington about the close of this month. Mrs. Rodgers was the widow of Rear Admiral John Rodgers, one of the most distinguished naval officers of the Civil War, who died here, while Superintendent of the Naval Observatory. She had been a resident of Washington for nearly fifty years and took great interest in its social and charitable organizations, being a manager in many of the latter and an actively interested member of the Ladies’ Club.
