Warren Co. James W. Rodgers, physician and surgeon. The subject of this sketch was born in the town of Bowling Green May 19, 1844. His father, Jesse G. Rodgers, came to this county when about thirteen years of age. He was born in Kentucky. His mother came to the county with her parents, when a little girl, from Bowling Green, Kentucky. His mother is living in Montgomery county, this state. His father died in July, 1871. He had been deputy clerk of all the courts in the county and served for some time as deputy sheriff. When our subject was about six months old his parents moved to Audrain county, Missouri, where he resided until 1862, when he went into the army, and was in the service four years. He held a command most of the time in a colored regiment, Sixth Henry Artillery, and also did adjutants duty for nearly one year. He was mustered out in May, 1866. Soon after returning home he commenced the study of medicine with Dr. S. J. Reynolds, an old and prominent physician of Bowling Green, taking two courses of lectures at the St. Louis Medical College, graduating March 9, 1870. Returning to Bowling Green and looking around for a location he chose a place called Longfleet. The country was sparsely settled and people seldom got sick, so the doctor was not long in making up his mind to quit the place. He then came back to Bowling Green. In 1870 he went to Guthrie county, Iowa, where he remained until April, 1875, when he returned to Bowling Green and formed a partnership with his old tutor. He has been twice married; first to Miss Mary E. Reynolds, daughter of B. B. Reynolds, of this place; she died in September, 1875. He married for his second wife Miss Cornelia McMillen, daughter of Samuel McMillen. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and also of the A. O. U. W. and Knights of Honor.
