| This work celebrates the lives of Jesse Jefferson Rogers 1863-1914 & Lillie Delilah Hurst-Rogers 1873-1966, 93 yrs. The Rogers clans settled in the Holley community on the shores of Santa Rosa Sound on a bayou call Boggy Bayou in the early 19th century. They intermarried with local Creek indians and became fishermen. Jesse made his living laying long nets with a wooden row boat catching mullet and other fish. He was also boat builder. He and Lillie had six children including Maude Rogers-Hudson, a grandmother of the Florida branch of the Stangeland family. Their children in the work are shown when young at the center, Lillian Hudson-Pleasant is standing on the porch of the old family church in Holley and Jesse's father Fredrick Rogers is standing left of seated Lillie with a child. Jesse died at 51 and Lillie lived another 52 years and always considered him her only husband to the end. My mother told me she insisted on being buried the day after she died without embalming because no man had ever touched her in her entire life except Jesse and even in death she didn't want the undertaker to handle her. That is deep true love. |
