Morris Herald, Dec 1889
Morris Herald
Dec 1889

At 9 o'clock Thursday evening, December 13, 1889, Jacob Rogers, at his home on 
Liberty street in this city, passed quietly away to the great unknown.

Mr. Rogers had reached a ripe old age and latterly had been on the decline, 
although continuing to give attention to his business, until one week ago last 
Sunday when he had a slight stroke of paralysis, after which he gradually 
falled until death came.

Deceased was born at Boonesville, Oneida county, N. Y., and there resided, 
folling the avocation of a farmer until 1850, when with his wife, who died one 
year ago last May, he came west and purchased a farm in the town of Vienna, 
where he continued to reside until 1867 when he returned to New York, but to 
remain a short time only for in 1870 he was back in Illinois and engaged in 
the grocery business in a small way, which business he continued up to the 
time of his death. He had no children, but J. H. Rogers, of Wauponsee, a 
nephew, and Clara and Hattie, nieces, were very near to him, and gave him 
every attention.

He was a most devout christian, a member of the Baptist church, and leaves 
this life to enter upon a more glorious inheritance. No man speaks ill of him. 
The funeral took place on Friday forenoon from the Baptist church.
