        HORACE B. ROGERS came to this township, accompanied by his mother,
in 1838; settled on land in Section 19, but soon exchanged it for his
present farm, where he has lived since, with the exception of two winters
spent in Lima, Ind. His parents were Bradish and Polly (Mase) Rogers, of
Massachusetts, are are of English descent. In their westward journeying
they stopped in Ashtabula County, Ohio, where the subject was born in 1822;
thence, in 1836, to Sturgis, Mich. Since the age of twelve, Horace Rogers
has cared for himself, and has received few advantages. He has 320 acres of
land in this township, and has ever been a valued and worthy citizen,
having served ten years as Trustee, during which time eight schoolhouses
were built and furnished; he was Treasurer of the War Fund, and has served
as school Director and Pathmaster. Mr. Rogers was married to Miss Priscilla
Gage, April 13, 1848. Their family numbers six, viz., Emery A., Harriet E.,

married, and living near home. Mrs. Rogers was born in Pennsylvania, in
1830. Her parents, Isaac and Hannah (Eastlick) Gage, were of English and
