Additional Comments:
Transcriber's note: Jessie E. Rogers was born in 1855 and married Victoria
Ruhanna Layfield on July 31,1879 in Taylor County, Ga.  The names of the five
sons not mentioned in the obituary are: Burel, Eli, Jessie Toliver, Perry Seborn
and Robert Lee Rogers. Jessie married a sister of my great-great grandfather,
James Monroe Layfield and I would like to correspond with anyone researching the
Rogers family.  I've posted a picture of Jessie and Victoria Rogers on the
Taylor County photo page.
