Notes for Jacob Rogers
The birth date is tentative. His gravestone gives his dates as 1867 -1954, years only. His FindaGrave.com memorial gives his birth date as 9 Aug 1867, presumably from a death certificate (the death date is also from that memorial), but he does not appear with his parents in the 1870 census. He was recorded as age 11 in the 1880 census, age 26 born May 1874 in the 1900 census, and age 38 in the 1910 census. A birth date in 1870 or 1871 seems most likely.
His obituary reported:
“Jacob Rogers, 87, of Camden, died Saturday. He was a native of Manchester, Ky., and was a member of the Baptist Church there. He was a paper maker by trade.
Survivors include three sons, Walter and Irvin Rogers, both of Hamilton; and William Rogers of Manchester; two sisters, Mrs. Sally Martin of Dillsboro, Ind., and Mrs. Lucie Davidson of Oneda, Ky., one brother, Luke Rogers of Manchester, Ky., nine grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
Services for Mr. Rogers were held Tuesday afternoon at the R. C. Nein and Son Funeral Home in Camden with burial in Fairhaven Cemetery.”
