Thomas W Rogers, photographer, who was born in
Beallsville, Washington County, Penna, July 17, 1846, is a
son of James R Rogers and Sarah McLean Rogers, also natives
of Washington County. Mrs Sarah Rogers died in 1854. Mr
Rogers, who is a carpenter and contractor, now resides in
the state of Indiana. His family consists of seven children
now living: five sons and two daughters (five dead). Thomas
Rogers, who is the third son, was reared in Washington
County on the farm and attended school at Beallsville. In
1861 he learned photography, at which he worked for over
three years before he opened his establishment in
Carmichaels, where he has been a very popular and very
successful photographer.
In 1869 Mr Rogers married Miss Belle Daugherty,
daughter of Joseph Daugherty. They are the parents of five
children: Olly Rogers; Velma Rogers; Wilber Rogers; Ina
Rogers and Fred Rogers. Mr Rogers is modest and unassuming
but industrious and energetic in his business, and has
always had the respect and confidence of the community, from
which he has received a liberal patronage. In politics he is
a Republican; and he and Mrs Rogers are among the most
faithful and prominent members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church.
