Mr. Cicero Rogers Dead.
On May 30, 1914, at his home at Bellton, Mr. Cicero Rogers answered the call
to "come up higher." Great indeed is the mystery of life and death. He had been
declining in health for several years, due to affected lungs and kidneys. He
was well known to almost everyone of Hall and White Counties. He was born in
Hall county about sixty-nine years ago. He was an old soldier of the
confederacy; joined the 7th Georgia Regiment at Savannah, went out in Company
D, under Capt. Anderson. After Captain Anderson was shot, he went under Capt.
Wiley. Thus, one by one our dear old soldiers are receiving the summons
to "cease firing." That life's battles have been fought, the last roll call on
earth has been answered. It is with sad hearts that we give up such noble
spirits. The deseased's watchword were always, Honesty and Truthfulness. He had
been married twice and was the father of thirteen children. In 1866 he was
married to Miss Sophroney Carter, sister of S.S. Carter, of Lula. To them nine
children were born, eight of whom are still living; Mrs. Hester Carter, Mrs.
Mattie Garner of Bellton, Mrs. E.F. Whitworth of Lula, Mr. S. B. Rogers of
Gainesville, Mrs. Frank Peck, Mrs. India Jones, Mr. Scrogs Rogers of
Murrayville, and Mrs. T. W. Tate of Cleveland. He was married the second time
about eleven years ago to Miss Emma Patton of White county, who still survives
him. To them four children were born, three of whom are still living-- Fay, age
eight years, Claretta, age five years and George, age three years. Mr. Rogers
was a member of the Baptist Church. The funeral services were held at Wahoo
Church in Lumpkin county, conducted by Rev. James West. After the services at
the Church the body was taken to the Church cemetery and placed beneath the sod
to wait till the resurrection morn.
