Ionia Standard, 29 Apr 1904

Roxcena Rogers, mother of Mrs. B.H. Custer and Henry A. Rogers, was born Sept. 
2, 1828; died April 18, 1904, being 75 years, 7 months and 16 days old.

She was born in Mercer county, Pa.  She was one of a family of eleven children, 
of which one brother survives her.  When quite young she moved with her parents 
to Ashtabula county, Ohio.  Here she was married, at the age of 22, to Ezra 
Sanford, who lived about three years after the marriage.  In 1855 she was 
married to James S. Rogers.  To this union were born the two children, Mrs. 
Custer and her brother, Henry A. Rogers.

In the year 1866 they moved to Ionia county, Mich., where she resided until 
three years ago, when she moved to Eaton Rapids with her daughter, Mrs. Custer.

While in Ohio, she united with the M.E. church, at the age of 18.  After moving 
to Michigan, she was not near the church of her choice, so she was transferred 
to the Wesleyan Methodist church.

She was always a devoted Christian, a kind and loving mother, unselfish in the 
highest degree, always discommoding herself for the comfort of others.
