Empire State – Spalding County – Week of February 27, 1856
Mary Rogers

Died in Oxford, Newton County, on Saturday, the 16th instant, Mrs. Mary Rogers,
consort of the Rev. Osborne Rogers, aged 60 years. Mrs. Rogers had been for
more than forty years a zealous, consistent and pious member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and in the whole course of her long Christian career,
sustained a reputation above censure or reproach. In all the relations of
life, she was guided by the principles of Christian duty. As a wife, she was
devoted and confiding; as a mother, she was kind and affectionate; as a
mistress, she was humane and merciful – or as a neighbor, charitable and
benevolent. Her life was one of active usefulness. She was ever zealous in
good works. The confident of her neighbors in the sincerity of her Christian
profession, knew no wavering. Her kind department and amiable disposition, won
her universal esteem and admiration. Mary Rogers was a pattern for every thing
that was good and holy, in the estimation of her acquaintances. But she is
gone and now sleeps the sleep, which knows no waking. Blessed are the dead who
lie in the Lord, yea, saith the spirit, they rest from their labors, and their
works do follow them.
