Meriden Daily Republican, Monday, March 14, 1881
Death of Mr. Hervey Rogers.

Mr. Hervey Rogers died at his residence on Colony Street, on Sunday afternoon 
at 5 o'clock, at the age of 70 years. He had been dangerously ill only since 
Tuesday last, but his health had not been good for the past two years. Mr. 
Rogers was born in Middletown, but his parents moved to Chester, when he was 
very young, and until the year 1849, Mr. Rogers lived and did business in 
Saybrook, and was married in that town in the year 1826. After coming here, Mr. 
Rogers engaged in the hotel business, purchasing what is now known as the 
Rogers' building from Major Cowles, and he carried on the business for twenty 
years, after which he retired from active business. Mr. Rogers has always been 
a highly esteemed citizen, on account of his upright character, and his 
endeavor to carry Christian principles into his every day life. He was a 
leading member of the Methodist Church here, and did much to aid the church in 
attaining its present prosperous condition, and he has always been a strong 
temperance man, and has taken a deep interest in everything pertaining to the 
cause. His private life has been a happy one, and has lived to see his children 
all grown up, and occupying positions of usefulness in the community. Mr. 
Rogers and his wife, who survives him, celebrated their golden wedding 
anniversary four years ago last Thanksgiving day, and on that occasion their 
children and grandchildren, to the number of twenty-nine, were present. Of 
their nine children, six are still living, viz: Mesars. Hervey, Cephas, Gilbert 
and Wilbur F. Rogers of this city, 
N. Burton Rogers of London, England, and a daughter, who resides in Middletown. 
The funeral service will be held at the Methodist church, on account of the 
large number who will desire to attend, on Wednesday, at 2 p.m., and the 
services at the house will be very brief.
