Van Buren Press Van Buren, Arkansas (Crawford County) October 19, 1889 CAPT. ROGERS' WILL The will of the late Capt. W. H. Rogers was filed at Fort Smith Monday. His wealth is estimated at $100,000 and si nearly all given to his widow whom he married only a few weeks ago at Muskogee, I. T. His sister and other relatives living in Fort Smith will contest the will on the ground that her brother was not in a sane condition at the time of his marriage on account of a severe stroke of paralysis from which he had suffered for some months previous to his death. His funeral took place Sunday, and his brain was taken out and examined before the funeral cortege started for the cemetery. He was the son of Col. J. Rogers, the founder of the city of Fort Smith, who died in 1860. Fran Alverson Warren
