October 10, 1869 --- March 18, 1907

The remains of the late deceased N. R. Rogers were brought to this city Wednesday from Waterloo over the Great Western, and were laid to rest in the Rose Hill cemetery by the side of those of his wife, who had proceeded him to the Great Beyond a little over two years ago. Upon arriving here the remains were taken to the home of his father-in-law, Frank Pohlman, and from there the funeral party started for the cemetery. Rev. York said a simple prayer at the grave which was all of the service.

The deceased was born on October 10, 1869, and died in the hospital at Waterloo on Monday, March 18. His wife passed away about two years ago and left three small sons, who are now left to mourn the loss of both father and mother. The grief laden ones have our sympathy.

****

Suffering intense pain for more than two weeks. N. H. Rogers died at 1:30 o'clock this morning at the hospital. Mr. Rogers was a victim of blood poisoning following a slight attack of quinsy. While it was known that the condition of Mr. Rogers was critical, during Friday and Saturday he apparently was on the road to recovery, and his friends held great hope that the crisis of the disease had been safely passed.

Mr. Rogers was born in Benton county 37 years ago and he had always made Iowa his home, residing in later years on a farm near Waterloo. His wife, who was Miss Edna Pullman, [Pohlman] died some four years ago. Their three sons—Clifford, Frank and Harry survive. Frank of La Porte, Leonard of Vinton and Dr. E. A. Rogers of the State university at Iowa City are the living brothers, and Mrs. H. H. Brownell of Monmouth, Ill., who was present when the end came, is the only sister surviving. Definite arrangements for the funeral are withheld until this evening, awaiting the arrival of relatives from a distance.
