Empire State – Spalding County – Week of February 27, 1856
Mary Rogers

Died in Oxford, Newton County, on Saturday, the 16th instant, Mrs. Mary Rogers, 
consort of the Rev. Osborne Rogers, aged 60 years.  Mrs. Rogers had been for 
more than forty years a zealous, consistent and pious member of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church, and in the whole course of her long Christian career, 
sustained a reputation above censure or reproach.  In all the relations of 
life, she was guided by the principles of Christian duty.  As a wife, she was 
devoted and confiding; as a mother, she was kind and affectionate; as a 
mistress, she was humane and merciful – or as a neighbor, charitable and 
benevolent.  Her life was one of active usefulness.  She was ever zealous in 
good works.  The confident of her neighbors in the sincerity of her Christian 
profession, knew no wavering.  Her kind department and amiable disposition, won 
her universal esteem and admiration.  Mary Rogers was a pattern for every thing 
that was good and holy, in the estimation of her acquaintances.  But she is 
gone and now sleeps the sleep, which knows no waking.  Blessed are the dead who 
lie in the Lord, yea, saith the spirit, they rest from their labors, and their 
works do follow them.
