Biographical Sketch (1923):34, v. 2, p. 642. "John Rogers grew to manhood on that farm there at St. Johns and after his marriage to his neighbor, Hannah Bitler, established his home there and became a farmer by his own right, eventually becoming the owner of a fine farm of 320 acres, a part of which extended over the line in Union township, and early became recognized as one of the leading livestock men in the county, particularly as a promoter of the breeding of the big type Poland-China hogs. On that place he spent his last days, his death occurring on January 26, 1918, and his widow still survives him. To them were born six children, all of whom are living, Rae, Grace, and Nelle, and three brothers, Ernest, Guy, and George W. Rogers."
