Ionia Standard, 2 Nov 1906

Our citizens were shocked Mon. morning to learn of the death of Mrs. Uriah B. 
Rogers, which occurred Sunday p.m., at St. Louis, Mich., where she went for 
treatment at Sanitarium nearly three weeks ago.  Mrs. Rogers returned from 
California a few months ago, suffering from nervous prostration, and has 
remained since in feeble condition.  News early last week was to the effect 
that she was losing ground, and her sister, Mrs. Avery, had decided to go to 
see her on Friday, when she received a letter written by Mrs. Rogers on 
Thursday, saying she was feeling better, and not to come.  The purpose to 
telegraph to Mrs. Rogers’ daughter Belle, in school in Boston, was also 
abandoned on receipt of this news.

Mrs. Rogers seems to have been taken suddenly worse on Saturday, having a very 
bad night following, and passing away suddenly on Sunday from heart failure.  
None of the relatives were with her during these last hours, but Mrs. J. C. 
Hills? of Chicago and Mrs. Francis E. Burns of St. Louis, long time intimate 
friends were with her.

Mrs. Rogers was a daughter of the late Benjamin Harter, one of the prominent 
business men of Ionia for many years, during the early history of the town, up 
to and immediately following the war period.  Mrs. Rogers was born in Ionia, 
and most of her life was passed here, and she was universally esteemed and 
affectionately regarded by all.

The remains arrived here at 11:15 Monday, and the funeral service was held at 
the family homestead, High street, Tuesday afternoon, at 2:30.
