Captain Thomas Rogers departed this life, and entered into his Heavenly rest, April 25, 1907, aged eighty-two years.
The early part of Brother Rogers' life was spent upon the sea. Later he entered upon the wholesale fish business in Fulton Market, New York City, where by honest industry, he acquired a competency which enabled him to retire to his old home in Waterford, Conn., where he lived until the death of his wife a few years since. Since her death his home has been with his son, Dr. Thomas Rogers, in New London, Conn., at which place he died. He was a member of the Seventh-day Baptist Church in New York City, a man of sterling integrity, and one who was often 'at the throne of grace.' His son, Dr. Rogers, is the only member of the family now living. The Doctor and his faithful wife watched over the aged father with tenderest care, during several months of invalidism, which preceded his death. His funeral was attended from his late residence in Waterford, on Sabbath afternoon, April 27, 1907. A. J. P.
