THE HISTORY OF OUR (ROCKY HOCK) CHURCH PEWS: 
   GIVEN IN HONOR OF MRS. IDA M. ROGERS BY HER SON OLIVER ROGERS & FAMILY 

  Ida Mae Rogers (1884 - 1958) was the daughter of Benjamin and Ansabelia 
Goodrich (see stain glass windows series).  She was born on Cedar Point Farm. 
Later the house in which she was born in was moved to Williamsburg, rebuilt 
and restored.  This house once stood at the site of Viola Lowe's home.  Ida 
Mae married George W. Rogers and they had six children - Mary, Hattie, Oliver, 
Ben, Clarence and Bena.  In 1915 her husband George died and she raised the 
children alone, the oldest being nine years old and the youngest an infant. 
When Ida Mae died at age 74, her funeral was held at her home and burial was 
at Rocky Hock Cemetery.  Reverend Blankenship died the funeral and the music 
was provide by the Rocky Hock choir. 

  Oliver Rogers (1909 - 1987), her third child, farmed all his life and 
married Mary Elizabeth Pittman.  They had three children.  Oliver was born on 
the family farm where his widow resides today.  The farm has been in Oliver's 
family for over 100 years and is designated as a "Century Farm."  Oliver was 
peanut producing champion in Surry County in 1966.  He is buried in Rocky Hock 
Cemetery.
