- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 20, 1893 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - At Richland, New York, April 16, 1893, Mrs. Mary Rogers, mother of Mrs. Herman Richardson, aged 85 years. Funeral was held in the M. E. church at Richland, Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Hancock officiating. Mrs. Rogers was born in Vermont in 1808. At the age of six, she, with her parents, moved to Lorraine, New York. At the age of 18 she was married to James Rogers, and went to housekeeping in Sandy Creek, where she lived until eight years ago, when she came here to live with her daughter. Three children were born to them, Mrs. Eliza Porter, deceased, Mrs. Isabel Richardson and Leroy Rogers. She was left a widow some thirty years ago. She has been a member of the Congregational church in Sandy Creek ever since it was organized, and she was a good Christian woman, respected and loved by her friends and neighbors. For years she has been an invalid and a great though patient sufferer. During the past winter she has been uncommonly well for her, until about a week ago when she had an attack of pleurisy. Her grandson, Dr. Richardson, succeeded in quelling that, and then erysipelas set in. Dr. Box was called, but could not save her, and on Sunday morning she ceased to breathe. Interment at Sandy Creek beside her husband.
