Dr. Robert N. Rogers, at Salviso, Ky. About the first of January paralysis of the right side of the body developed and he failed gradually until his death.  Mr. Rogers was an energetic successful business man, dealing extensively in cattle and sheep, besides conducting two large farms. As a citizen he was above reproach, his loyalty, sincerity and uprightness being recognized by all.  He was always optimistic and public spirited and interested in the welfare of his fellow men, who could always count on his sympathy or advice or any help as needed.  He was a follower of the Seventh Day Baptist faith and a member of the Oxford Lodge, F.&A.M., and Norwich Commandery, K.T. December 4, 1882, Mr. Rogers married Emma Whiting, who with one son, Dr. Robert R. Rogers, of Salviso, Ky., survives him. The remains were brought home and the funeral services were conducted by Rev.
