      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.
