Posted on: USGenWeb Delta County Biographies Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Co/DeltaBios/7 Surname: ROGERS ------------------------- My great great grandparents, Calvin Otis & Martha Jane (Hurt) ROGERS moved to North Fork Valley, Delta County, Colorado in the summer of 1882 and settled near the Enos Hotchkiss and Henry Roberts families. (it was Gunnison County at that time. Delta County wasn't created until 1886) Calvin Otis ROGERS was born near Adrian, Lenawee County, Michigan on March 18, 1841. He was a direct descendant of Thomas Rogers, Stephen Hopkins, and James Chilton, all of whom were Pilgrims who sailed to Plymouth, Massachusetts on the Mayflower in 1620. His great grandfather, Benjamin Rogers, fought in the American Revolution, and Calvin was a veteran of the Civil War. He married Martha Jane Reynolds in Bynumville, Chariton County, Missouri on January 3, 1861. Calvin & Martha had 11 children in all, two of whom were born in Colorado. The family eventually migrated to Beulah, Pueblo County, Colorado circa 1880 where Calvin operated his own sawmill, mercantile, and grain mill. In 1882 the Rogers family migrated to the new settlement in Delta county. In September of 1882 this new settlement totaled 36 American pioneers The ROGERS' homesteaded what became known as "Rogers Mesa", which is just one mile west of Hotchkiss. On January 25, 1883 Calvin & Martha's last child, Edward J. Rogers, was born. He was the first baby to be born in this newly established pioneer community. By October of 1883, Calvin had established a sorghum mill and he was processing the sorghum, which he grew on his land, into sweet amber syrup. The Rogers homestead also produced apples and peaches from 1800 fruit trees, barley, buckwheat, Indian corn, oats, wheat, pulse, 200 gallons of milk, 500 pounds of butter, eggs, poultry, and beef on his 160 acre homestead. Calvin also owned a sawmill, a box factory, and a planing mill 16 miles from Hotchkiss on Leroux Creek which he operated with two of his sons. Calvin also owned the "American Livery" stable in Hotchkiss, and his son, George Leonard Rogers, owned a butcher shop in Hotchkiss where he sold the family's beef. On April 25, 1885, Calvin Otis Rogers, Jr, the ninth of eleven children born to Calvin & Martha, died of a bowel inflammation and was buried in the "Upper Cemetery", which was situated on the Rogers homestead. He was only 7 years old. A handsome carved headstone marks his grave, and it was still standing in 1985. In 1902 Calvin & Martha migrated to Anacortes, Skagit County, Washington (north of Seattle) along with my great grandparents, Charles Henry & Theresa Catherine (Rogers) Freeman. Calvin Otis Rogers died in Anacortes on November 24, 1916. He was 75 years old. Virginia Harriet Rogers, the seventh child of Calvin & Martha, married Victor M. Harpst. They built a two story home which was adjacent to the "Upper Cemetery" and supposedly stills stands today. There are numerous members of the Rogers and Harpst families buried in the "Upper Cemetery". In fact, I believe that it was the family burial plot. I hope this information adds to your genealogical database in some small way. I'm wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Sincerely yours, Stephen Freeman Moeser

Dear List, I am searching for a virtual needle in a haystack, but I know the answer is out there somewhere! My ggrandfather , David GOLDBERG, left his wife and two young boys in Chicago in 1894 to go to Colorado. He died there in about October of that same year. I only have this little bit to go on after receiving a 100 year old admission form from the orphanage that his son (my grandfather) was placed in. It is on this form dated March 1895 that his wife states that he "died in Colorado 6 months ago." I'm sure they were living in basic poverty, and daily life was a struggle. They were both Russian immigrants. I am leaning toward him coming out there to mine, but this is just a guess. I have no idea how he died. I would much welcome any suggestions as to where to begin, and also ask that if anyone has access to any death indexes from your various counties, or know of any "potter's field" areas in cemeteries that you might check them for me if you have time. I'm quite sure his family could not afford to have him sent back to Chicago, and I have been unable to find him there. I think I'm going to have to attack this by finding out where is ISN'T, to find out where he IS. If anyone thinks I am going about this the wrong (or long) way, please let me know! Thanks very much for hearing my story........ Regards, Donna in Minnesota Obit Vol, Crow Wing County larose@emily.net
