MEMORIAL FIELDS: Birth 28 Dec 1912, Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky. Death 24 Aug 1979 (aged 66), Duluth, St. Louis County, Minnesota. Burial Highland Memorial Cemetery, Winneboujou, Douglas County, Wisconsin; Plot Sec B. Bio line: 'son of Dwight & Helen Murray (Adams) Rogers'. Parents John Dwight Rogers 1879-1944 and Helen Adams Rogers 1881-1976; sibling Anne Rogers Sidebotham 1916-1997; spouse Virginia Keeler Rogers Townley 1916-2013 (m. 1939); child Thomas T 'Tom' Rogers 1943-2023. BIRTH-YEAR CONFLICT, NOT RESOLVED: the memorial says 1912; this tree keeps 28 Dec 1913 from two earlier citations. Same day and place, so one year is wrong; this citation is deliberately not linked to his birth. Contributor-entered data; no record image.
