Notes
General:
"Frank A. Rogers, M.D.—This rising young physician, born at Newfield, Me., was educated at Limerick Academy, and at Kent's Hill Seminary, received a full academic course for Bowdoin College, but changed his mind and entered the medical department, from which he graduated in 1876. He practiced nearly a year at Bethel, Me., when he sold his interest to a classmate who had made a settlement there about the same time. He then filled the position of principal in Litchfield Academy two years, removing to Atlanta, Ga., to fill the chair of instructor in science and language in the university of that city. After practicing his profession two years, in Nebraska, he settled in Brewster, in 1882, purchased his homestead and in 1884 opened a drug store in connection with his practice. During his term of practice at Brewster he has attained a prominent position in the profession, excelling in surgery. In 1883 he joined the Massachusetts Medical Society, and for six years past has been the secretary of the Barnstable district. High compliment is due to his mechanical and scientific genius, which, combined with his energy and perseverance assures his highest success. As a special correspondent of the signal service he has in use an electric anemometer recorder of his own invention and construction, which more effectually records the velocity of the wind than any other in the service.

Something might well be expected of a man with the doctor's antecedents. His ancestry is traceable back to John Rogers, the martyr, who was burned at the stake February 14, 1555. The first of the family who came to the New World was Rev. Nathaniel Rogers, who settled at Ipswich in 1636, where he died in 1655. His son, Rev. John Rogers, M.D., practiced at the same place, departing this life in 1684, leaving a son, Rev. John, who was pastor of the First church of Ipswich until his death in 1745. The next in the lineal descent was Rev. Daniel Rogers, a tutor of Harvard College, who died in 1785, at Exeter, N. H. His son, Thomas, moved to Ossipee, N. H., where John Rogers, grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was born and subsequently removed to Newfield, Me., where he died in 1866. At the latter place Rev. John A. Rogers was born, April 29, 1833, who in 1854 married Julia A. Nealey of Parsonsfield, Me., and settled in the ministry as pastor of the F. W. Baptist church, which service he continued until his death, February 6, 1866, leaving two children—Frank A. and Addie A., now Mrs. B. F. Lombard of Portsmouth, N. H.

Frank A. Rogers, M.D., was born October 8, 1855, at Newfield, and was married November 30, 1876, to Lottie A. Bowker of Phipsburg, Me. They have three children—Amabel, Frank Leston, and Alice M. The doctor is an active republican, interesting himself in the affairs of the body politic, and for four years last past has acted on the school board of Brewster. In the church of his choice, the Baptist, he is superintendent of its Sunday school; and in the busy scenes of science and his profession he finds opportunity for the enjoyment of those religious and social relations to which he is devotedly attached." 1
