Jonathan ROGERS, 82 years of age, was sitting in his store, 708 Independence avenue, yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. He was chatting pleasantly with his wife and daughter. He arose and stepped into a rear room, fitted up as a bedchamber, saying: "I think I will lie down awhile." He stretched himself upon the bed and prepared to take a nap. Five minutes later, Mrs. ROGERS, who has attained to more than the allotted three score and ten years, stepped into the room and to her husband's side. He was dead. Mr. ROGERS had made no complaint of illness further than to remark that he had a pain in his stomach. He died undoubtedly of old age. Mr. ROGERS lived in Kansas City for ten years. His children are scattered, only one daughter of a large family being at home. The remains will be shipped to the dead man's old home, Bloomington, Ind., at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The funeral services will be held at 3:30 o'clock at the residence, 528 Charlotte street, conducted by Rev. T. M. MEYERS of the Lydia avenue Methodist church.
