VIRGINIA WADE ROGERS

VIRGIE WADE ROGERS

   Mrs. Virgie Wade Rogers died on November 18, 1956, in a Richmond hospital. 
She was the daughter of the late George W. Wade, and the late Mrs. Eliza 
Turner Wade, and was born on October 10, 1903 in Southampton County, Virginia. 
Her early school days were spent in Courtland and she was graduated from 
Franklin High School and attended Longwood College after which she taught in

years held his membership. As long as her health permitted, she regularly
