Notes for ERASTUS EDMUND ROGERS:
Rock Island County Ill Portrait & Biographical Album
Dr. E.E. Rogers, residing at Port Byron, is one of the prominent and
substantial business men of that place. He is a native of Plainfield,
Ohio, where he was born Nov. 14, 1829. The parents of Dr. Rodgers were
John and Margaret (Williams) Rogers, natives of Mifflin County, Pa. They
were among the early pioneers of Ohio, where they resided until their
deaths.
Dr. Rogers was educated in the schools of Zanesville and Athens, his
native State, and completed his education by a thorough and complete
academical course. At an early age he determined to adopt the profession
of medicine as the business of his life, and with that end in view he read
the standard text books of medicine while yet in his minority. When he
attained his majority he came to Davenport, IA., arriving there in April,
1850. He remained there until the May following, when he came to Illinois
and settled at Port Byron, hung out his shingle and commenced the practice
of his profession. The county at that time was thinly settled, entailing
upon the Doctor long and fatiguing rides to visit patients living in remote
settlements; but he was possessed of a stout and vigorous brain that has
never known an hour of sickness during the last 35 years. In 1855,
realizing the importance of having pure drugs in his practice, he opened a
drug store in connection with the practice of his profession, in which
business he is still connected with his son. In 1871, Dr. Rogers began the
banking business and established the bank known as the Bank of Port Byron,
under the firm name of E.E. Rogers & Sons. The bank is well and favorably
known throughout financial circles. It is regarded as one of the solid
institutions of the county. The volume of business transacted by the bank
has aggregated $1,500,000. Prior to engaging in the banking business Dr.
Rogers commenced dealing in grain, shipping, etc., and the firm as it now
exists was organized in 1871.
As seen by the foregoing, the life of Dr. Rogers has been one of business
activity. He belongs to that class of Western men who are noted for their
push and enterprise, good judgment and energy. It is needless to say that
the energy, tact and good judgment of Dr. Rogers has brought its reward in
wealth that ranks him among the substantial citizens of Rock Island County.
His accumulation of this world's goods is attributable to none other than
his own indomitable energy, keen judgment and energetic endeavor.
In December, 1853, Dr. Rogers was united in marriage with Miss Susan
Moore, a native of Vermont, at Port Byron. The issue of their union has
been two sons, - Frank E. and Edward M. Both the sons are partners in the
firm of E.E. Rogers & Sons, bankers, grain dealer and druggists at Port
Byron.
Frank E. Rogers, eldest son of the Doctor, married Miss E.A. Maxwell, and
they have two children,- Walter Harry and Hazel. Edward M. Rogers, second
child of the Doctor, married Miss Elizabeth McCall, and they have one
child, Bertha by name.
Mrs. Rogers, wife of the subject of this notice, is a member of the
Congregational Church. Socially, Doctor Rogers belongs to Port Byron
Lodge, No. 624, I.O.O.F. Politically, he comes from good old Democratic
stock, his first Presidential vote having been cast for Franklin Pierce in
1852, and since that time he has not failed to cast his vote in support of
the principles of that party. Thus, in short, is the brief biographical
sketch of Dr. Rogers, and thus we have an exemplification of what push and
energy may accomplish. He started out in life with nothing but a strong
determination to succeed and a healthy constitution, and by his energy and
perseverance has procured a competency and a name and reputation second to
none in the community in which he resides for fair and honest dealing with
his fellow-man.
