At Mendota, near Madison, Wis., Feb. 27, 1900, Mrs. Asenath B., widow of the late Ezekiel B. Rogers, of Milton, aged 81 years, lacking one day.
Mrs. Rogers was the daughter of Dea. Luther Osgood, Sr., and was born in the town of Preston, Chenango county, N. Y., Feb. 28, 1819. Her family were First-day people, but she was led to the observance of the Sabbath, when quite young, by the reading of a little poem written in 1820 by Mrs. Rebekah K. Platts, and published a little later in the 'Protestant Sentinel'. On Christmas Day, 1842, she was married to Ezekiel B. Rogers, and shortly after they moved to Wisconsin, where they continued to reside until after Mr. Rogers death, a little more than three years ago. Only one son, Dr. Fred D. Rogers, remains to mourn the loss of father and mother. Mrs. Rogers was a woman of rare spirit, and throughout her long residence in Milton, in the home, in the church, and in society, she performed a noble part, leaning upon the everlasting arms, and receiving at last the reward of a faithful servant.
