CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY, OHIO, by Isaac Smucker, 1876, p. 226 & 227 .. . JOSEPH ROGERS, M.D. After having engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery for more than forty years, Dr. Rogers retired from active professional duties, and now, surrounded by the comforts rendered possible by days of toil, he quietly passes the twilight of his life at his home in Utica. He was one of the first physicians to locate in Licking County, having opened an office at Utica in December, 1845. Among the citizens of the county few are better and none more favorably known than he, and it is with pleasure that we invite the reader's attention to the following facts connected with his life history:

In 1770 our subject's grandparents, Thomas and Sarah (Armstrong) Rogers, removed from Kent County, Md. , to Washington County, Pa., settling in the village of Burgettstown. There he was born Generation 1 (con't) March 15, 1815, and there the first eight years of his life were passed. At that time his parents, Rowland and Mary (Hartshorn) Rogers, with their eight children, removed to a farm adjoining the village, from which it was separated by a small stream of water. Upon that place he was reared, receiving his education in the common schools. After the death of his father, the mother and eight children returned to Burgettstown, in 1834, where he attended a select school, giving his attention to the study of English and Latin grammar, advanced arithmetic and penmanship. Having spent three years and a-half in academic and collegiate education, nearly completing the full literary course, and some time spent in teaching and private study, our subject in the spring of 1840 in Burgettstown commenced the study of medicine under the tutelage of Dr. William Dornan, a celebrated physician. In the fall of 1841 he removed to Steubenville, Ohio, and continued his medical studies under the tuition of Dr. J. S. Scott, a very successful physician and surgeon, who was widely know throughout the state. While there the young had favorable opportunities for studying anatomy and kindred sciences, having access to all the books, both literary and medical, that he needed, and for two winters having the advantage of two dissecting rooms. Of all of these advantages he availed himself to the utmost.

During the last eighteen months of his stay with his preceptor, our subject was offered an opportunity of engaging in practice, and in that way he acquired considerable practice experience. The fall of 1845 witnessed his arrival in Utica, where for more than two score years he had the oversight of an extensive and lucrative practice. While he never took a regular course of lectures at a medical college, yet his preparation for practice was much more thorough than he could have received in many colleges. The degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon by the Cincinnati College of Medicine, and also by the medical department of the university at Cleveland. For two consecutive years he officiated as President of the Licking County Medical Society, and his interest in everything pertaining to the science still continues, though he has been retired from the profession for several years.

During the days of slavery the Doctor was a stanch Abolitionist, and from the date of the organization of the Republican party to the present he has always upheld loyally the principles for which his political organization stands. He has held a number of local offices, and at one time was nominated for the State Legislature, but his party being in the minority he suffered defeat with the remainder of the ticket. In religious faith a Presbyterian, he has been prominent in that church and served as a delegate to the general assembly when the old school and the new school branches were united. He never married; his sister resides with him and looks after the household. Notwithstanding his advanced years, eighty, he is still in reasonably good health and retains unimpaired the full possession of his mental faculties.

CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY, OHIO, by Isaac Smucker, 1876, p. 226 & 227 ... JOSEPH ROGERS, M.D. After having engaged In the practice of medicine and surgery for more than forty years, Dr. Rogers retired from active professional duties, and now, surrounded by the comforts rendered possible by days of toil, he quietly passes the twilight of his life at his home m Utica. He was one of the first physicians to locate in Licking County, having opened an office at Utica In December, 1845. Among the citizens of the county few are better and none more favorably known than he, and it Is with pleasure that we Invite the reader's attention to the following facts connected with his hfe history:

In 1770 our subject's grandparents, Thomas and Sarah (Armstrong) Rogers, removed from Kent County, Md., to Washington County, Pa , settling in the village of Burgettstown. There he was born Generation 1 (con't) March 15, 1815, and there the first e1ght years of his life were passed. At that time his parents, Rowland and Mary (Hartshorn) Rogers, with their eight children ~ removed to a farm adjoining the village, from which it was separated by a small stream of water. Upon that place he was reared, receiving his education in the common schools. After the death of his father, the mother and eight children returned to Burgettstown, in 1834, where he attended a select school, giving his attention to the study of English and Latin grammar, advanced arithmetic and penmanship. Having spent three years and a-half in academic and collegiate education, nearly completing the full literary course, and some time spent In teaching and private study, our subject In the spring of 1840 in Burgettstown commenced the study of medicine under the tutelage of Dr. William Dornan, a celebrated physician. In the fall of 1841 he removed to Steubenville, Ohio,, and continued his medical studies under the tuition of Dr. J. S. Scott. a very successful physician and surgeon, who was widely know throughout the state. V\lhile there the young had favorable opportunities for studying anatomy and kindred sciences, having access to all the books, both literary and medical, that he needed, and for two winters having the advantage of two dissecting rooms. Of all of these advantages he availed himself to the utmost.

During the last eighteen months of his stay with his preceptor, our subject was offered an opportunity of engaging in practice, and in that way he acquired considerable practice experience. The fall of 1845 witnessed his arrival in Utica, where for more than two score years he had the oversight of an extensive and lucrative practice. \Mlile he never took a regular course of lectures at a med1cal college, yet his preparation for practice was much more thorough than he could have received In many colleges The degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon by the Cincmnati College of Medicine, and also by the medical department of the university at Cleveland. For two consecutive years he officiated as President of the Licking County Medical Society, and his Interest in everything pertaining to the science still continues, though he has been retired from the profession for several years.

During the days of slavery the Doctor was a stanch Abolitionist, and from the date of the organization of the Republican party to the present he has always upheld loyally the principles for which his political organization stands. He has held a number of local offices, and at one time was nominated for the State Legislature, but his party being In the minority he suffered defeat with the remainder of the ticket. In religious faith a Presbyterian, he has been prominent In that church and served as a delegate to the general assembly when the old school and the new school branches were united. He never married; h1s sister resides with him and looks after the household. Notwithstanding his advanced years, eighty, he Is still in reasonably good health and retains un i mpa~red the full possession of his mental faculties.
