MRS. FLORENCE ROGERS
(By Katharine Henry)
The passing of Mrs. Florence
Rogers, August 30, at the home of j
Mr. and Hr. Ernest Kennedy, of!
Menlo was “Like one who wraps the
drapery of his couch about her and |
lies down to pleasant dreams.”
Mrs. Rogers was the granddaugh
ter of Major Lowry Williams, who
merited distinguished service to the
Confederacy and was prominent ini
negotiations at Washington, in be
half of the Indians. Her grandmoth
er was a half-breed Indian of the I
Cherokees. At an early age Mrs.!
Rogers’ mother died and she made
her home with her grandparents ini
Broomtown Valley. Tere she grew
into graceful young womanhood. In J
her community she was distinctive
for sparkling wit and graceful rid
ing. She was considered the best!
horse woman of the county
She married Jobie Rogers, and
lived in Broomtown Valley. Her home
was a rendezvous for her fiends; |
he perfect house keeping, and de-1
licious prepared food was the evi
dence that she put herself in her
work.
After the Indians were placed on
their reservations, all those of In
dian strain were given grants of
land, she and her husband went West
an took up her claim. The land that
fell to her allotment lay in the oil |
belt, for many years she received a |
handsome royalty from her oil in
terests.
After the death of her husband,,
one of her trusting and guileless}
nature fell to the prey of swindlers
and chiselers. She returned to her
native Georgia where she lived the
remainder of her allotted time. As
Thomas Hardy said, “Life gets us
all.” To her came bitter sorrows,}
intense physical suffering and busi-.
ness reverses.
Her mind was a treasure house of'
memories, she was the grand old I
lady of her community, at whose feet I
sat friends to listen to the history
and customs of “ye olden times.”
She told you something worth know
ing every time you saw her.
How beautifully she set her house
in order. HER eighty years were
lived with simplicity and sincerity,
cultivating cheerfulness, chairty and i
carefulness of expenditure. I think
she anticipated her death, planning
every detail of her funeral. She told
me that she desired to return to
mother nature as quickly as possible
also to save the cost of an expensive }
funeral, she wanted to'make her cos- 1
fin. A pine box was made under
her supervision, with the help of
friends, she lined it with soft pink
satin, making a satin pillow for the
head. The outside was enameled
white. I can see her interesting old
face, as she related it, saying “It
is beautiful,” there was so much
sweetness and light on her face, I
was awed. She had erected a small
granite stone to mark her grave,
which bore her name, there was no
date, only the inscription, ‘My hope
is Christ.’
On Wednesday, at 10 a. m. August
31, clad in dress of white fabric,
made by her own hands, she lay in
her white box. On her face was
written peace.
There was not a relative tq follow
he, bier, hut friends who loved her
Ringgold Opens
Old Cornerstone
Finds 23 Coins
RINGGOLD, Ga., Sept. s.—After
83 years the cornerstone of the Ca
toosa county courthouse lay open to
day as workers cleared debris from
the building, razed preparatory to
construction of a new $85,060 struc
. tore.
In the small square hole in the
cornerstone were found 23 coins, the
oldest of which was believed to be
Spanish and dated 1821, and a Bible.
Moisture that had seeped through
the limestone had rotted pages of
! the Bible. It was identified chiefly
because three gilt letters, “ble,’ were
still visible. The box which contain
ed the coins had also rusted to frag
ments.
Members of the Masonic lodge se
lected the articles originally placed
in the cornerstone, and officials said
they planned to put its contents un
der glass for a permanent display
in the lodge rooms.
The courthouse, built in 1855, cost
$6,485. It was still new when Union
General William T. Sherman made
his march from nearby Chattanooga,
Tenn., to Savannah, Ga. Sherman’s
I forces set fire to the courthouse, but
’ it was put out before destroying the
I building.
