Mrs. Rogers Dies After Long Illness

Friends in this county of Mrs. Victory Rogers, and they are many, were grieved 
to learn of her death the 2nd day of June.  She had been sick for a long time 
with cancer, underwent an operation in Atlanta in December last, but all that 
could be done for her was in vain and she peacefully passed over into the Great 
Beyond.

Mrs. Rogers was a member of the Methodist church and was a true Christian, 
loved by all who knew her.  She leaves besides a devoted husband and eight 
children many relatives to mourn their loss.  Those who survive her are the 
deceased’s husband, J.E. Rogers and the following children: Burrell, J.T., 
Perry, R.L., Dinkey, Mrs. Mathew Rogers, Mrs. Virgil Hobbs of this county, and 
Eli Rogers, of Texas.

May God bless the bereaved ones.

The body was taken to Hayes cemetery near Norwich for burial.  The service at 
the grave was conducted by Rev. A.H. Bazemore.

Card of Thanks

Mr. J.E. Rogers and children desire to express to the many kind friends and 
especially Dr. H.W. Davis their heartfelt thanks for the faithful service shown 
them in the recent illness and death of their dear wife and mother


Additional Comments:
**Note - Victoria (Victory) Layfield Rogers was the youngest child of Levin and 
Lucretia Layfield.  She married Jessie Rogers on July 31, 1879 in Taylor 
County, Ga.  Their photo is posted on the Taylor County page.  Victoria is 
connected to me because she was my great-great grandfather's sister.  I would 
like to correspond with anyone related to this family.  A relative of this 
family said Victoria is buried at the Pine Level Cemetery, it was formerly 
known as the Hayes Cemetery.  She isn't included in the listing for the Pine 
Level Cemetery on the Taylor County page but she is buried there.
