ROGERS, JOSEPH
Jacksonville Journal, Jacksonville, Illinois, August 5, 1894
Undertaker F. M. Coard was called to Waverly Saturday to take charge of the remains of Joseph Rogers, known in that section as "Little Uncle Dad Rogers", from the fact of his smallness of stature, only weighing between 60 and 70 pounds before his last illness.
He died Aug. 2d, 1894, aged about 80 years, and was buried in the Rogers cemetery, two miles west of Waverly.
Services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Terines, assisted by Rev. W. P. Hart. He was born in Kentucky and afterward came to this county. While quite a lad he united with the old school Baptist church and remained a member until his death. He was quite a reader of the Bible, having read it through a number of times and by actual count during his life read the New Testament through 560 times. His eye sight became poor and he purchased a testament of larger print and two or three months prior to his last illness he read it through the last 60 times.
