THE HISTORY OF OUR CHURCH PEWS: 
   "Given in Memory of Hettie Mae Rogers, Clarence E. Rogers. 
    By their Mother Ida Mae Rogers." 

HETTIE MAE AND CLARENCE E. ROGERS 

  Hettie Mae (1908-1934) and Clarence (1913-1939) Rogers were two of six 
children of Ida Mae and George W. Rogers.  Both died at the age of 26 years 
old.  Hettie died of tuberculosis that she contracted while attending school 
in Dendron.  Several of her classmates also perished of the disease during 
the same period.

  Very little is known about Clarence other than he loved motorcycles.  He 
often rode with Elwood Goodrich and Raymond Chappell.  He died of an 
epileptic seizure at Elwood's home.

  Clarence and Hettie Mae were born on the farm where Mary Elizabeth Rogers 
lives today.  They lived there until their father's death in 1915 when their 
mother Ida Mae moved the family to the farm that is between Larry Rogers' home 
and Sonny Boykin's home.

  Clarence and Hettie are buried in Rocky Hock Cemetery.

  Note: Thanks to Larry Rogers for the information and pictures.
