Morris Daily Herald, Feb 6, 1893
Mrs. D. H. Rogers

Our people mourn today the death of a good, Christian woman who was never so 
happy in her life time as when she was engaged in doing good to those in 
affliction. Eunice Henrietta Barber was born in Summerfield, Onandaga county, 
N.Y., March 3, 1834. In March, 1853, she came to Illinois with her parents and 
settled in Vienna township, near where Verona is now situated, and shortly 
thereafter she was married to D. H. Rogers, to whom six children were born, 
all of whom survive, together with her husband. She was a daughter of the 
late ‘Squire Amon Barber, who held many offices of trust in the county during 
his long residence here. Her children are: Mrs. Carrie Severs of Cayuga, Ill., 
Charles of this city, Mrs. Nellie Grant of Pueblo, Colo., Guy of Harold, 
Texas, Mrs. Julia A. Pool of Morris, and Cliff of Harold, Texas. Her brother, 
Samuel Barber, resides in Joliet, and a sister, Mrs. Geo. Chapin, lives in 
Charldron, Neb. She died of heart failure and her death was very sudden, the 
final summons coming almost without warning. Shortly after 2 o'clock Sunday 
morning her son-in-law, J. A. Pool, was called to her bedside when she told 
him that she could not live many hours. Two physicians were with her; shortly 
after this Mr. Pool started to go for his wife and before he had reached the 
foot of the stairs he was called back—she was cold in death! She passed away 
peacefully, passed away as she had lived—resigned, cheerful, peaceful. True, 
death of a loved one is the saddest moment in our lives, yet when the 
Archangel summons one as in the case of this good lady, at this time, it is 
not horrible after all, because she was confronted with death of a painful, 
lingering form, being threatened with cancer which was sure to result fatally 
in a short time.

Since coming to Morris in 1870 Mrs. Rogers applied herself to church and 
charitable work and her deportment in these branches of doing good won for her 
the highest esteem of this entire community, and her many kind and noble acts 
will not soon be obliterated from the memory of those who knew her.

Private services will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Pool tomorrow 
at 1:30 and public services will be held at the Presbyterian church at 2 p. 
m., and interment will be made at the Evergreen cemetery.
