The unwelcome news has been received that Cade ROGERS, well known in Mills county, passed away at the Iowa Soldier’s Home in Marshalltown July 16, following a brief illness from cerebral hemorrhage. Tribune contained the news of his critical illness. The following facts are given us by Carl SHAFFER, hospital steward, concerning the life and death of this well known and former pioneer of Mills county: Cade Rogers was born in Miller county, Mo., March 1, 1839. He served during the civil war as a Private in Company E., 6th Iowa Cavalry. He enlisted at Davenport, Iowa, October 6, 1862, and was discharged at Sioux City, Iowa, October 17, 1865. His company, the 6th Iowa, was used exclusively for Indian service. Cade entered the Iowa Soldiers’ Home November 8, 1912. He died July 16, 1918, aged 79 years, 4 months and 15 days. He was buried in the Iowa Soldiers’ Home Cemetery, July 19, 1918, with the usual military honors accorded all soldiers buried here. There were thirteen brothers and sisters in his family, of whom two survive – M.W. (Meade) now residing at Dorchester, Neb., and Mrs. Joe GRAHAM, Alhambra, Cal. – Glenwood Tribune The above which was clipped from the Glenwood (Ia.) Tribune, telling of the death of Cade Rogers, reminds us of the man who for a number of years was a citizen of this place. Mr. Rogers was for the most of the time of his residence here was a cripple and used two crutches to get around. He was engaged here for a while in market gardening, and from here went to California, where he lived for a number of years before returning to Iowa, where he entered the Soldiers Home. Mr. Rogers will be remembered by the people who have lived in Plattsmouth as an eccentric character, but very pronounced in his views.
