They have many of the family traits, and a similarity of names ; there is a possibility that they branched off about that date in the third or fourth generation, as our trace of all is imperfect.

BRIEF SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF J. A. R. ROGERS.
JOHN ALMANZA ROWLEY ROGERS was the son of John Corn- well Rogers and of Elizabeth Hamlin of Sharon, Conn .; b. in North Cornwall, Nov. 12, 1828, and baptized in early infancy in the Cong. Church of North Cornwall. At thirteen years he was sent to Williams Academy, Stockbridge, Mass.
At fifteen his parents moved with their children, John Al- manza and Elizabeth Amelia, to Pittsfield, near Oberlin, Ohio. He took his collegiate and theological courses at Oberlin, mean- while teaching in New York city and Oberlin College.
Ordained and installed in 1856 over the Cong. Church of Roseville, Ill. ; m. Elizabeth Lewis Embree of Philadelphia, 1856, of one of the old Quaker families of that city.
Mr. Rogers pastorate at Roseville was one of deep satisfaction to himself and the church, but having taught successfully some years, and having a strong desire to aid in founding a college, he went to Eastern Kentucky, where his only sister (m. Rev. James Scott Davis) resided, to do missionary work, and plant, with such helps as could be obtained, a school for higher learning, which should be especially adapted to meet the wants of the mountaineers of Eastern Kentucky and the people of the Appalachian region.
Various missionaries of the A. M. Society had already been laboring in the interest of Christian churches, education, and liberty, among them Rev. John G. Fee, Rev. J. S. Davis.
Mr. Rogers in addition to his constant ministerial work started a school at Berea, which rapidly developed and was the foundation upon which Berea College was organized by himself and others. The institution favored liberty, and, though patronized by slave- holders, was opposed by the slave power, and after the John Brown
426
HISTORY OF CORNWALL.
raid, and largely because of it, was broken up, but opened again with new vigor directly after the Civil War.
Mr. Rogers was at the head of the school for some years, and Professor of Greek as long as he remained with the college, and, in connection with Rev. John G. Fee, was associate pastor of the church of Berea and the college. His labors in behalf of Berea College in its early years were constant and exacting, and, aside from his teaching and preaching, he spent much time in the East raising funds for the college, which has now become so great a power and source of blessing to the whole Appalachian region and is continually extending its work.
By reason of enfeebled health he was compelled to resign his position and seek a more quiet life.
He was called to be pastor of the Presbyterian church in Shawano, northern Wisconsin. His pastorate there was one of mutual profit to himself and church, and continued for six years, when his health so completely failed that he was obliged to resign.
After a time he began evangelistic work in the Catholic Apos- tolic Church, making his headquarters in Philadelphia. After six years of evangelistic work he became pastor of the Catholic Apostolic Church in Hartford, Conn., and served in that capacity until after repeated illnesses was again compelled to resign his charge.
He has just written " The Birth of Berea College, A Story of Providence," which should be in the library of every S. S. and C. E. society.
Though much of his time and strength has been spent in edu- cational work, yet his real life-work has been that of a minister of Christ, in preaching the gospel and in the care of souls.
His love for Cornwall, and her worthy sons and daughters, has increased rather than diminished, and his longings for the pros- perity of the church in which he was baptized and reared are deep and fervent.
COL. ANSON ROGERS.
Three daughters and one son of Col. Anson Rogers are still living in Cornwall (1904) : Cynthia (Cartwright), Lucetta H. (A. Brush), Maria E. (N. Scoville), and Edward H. Rogers.

Sabbath-school at West Cornwall, a folio volume, manuscript, of 150 pages, a rich treasure for the student of the man himself and of his times. His untiring efforts in Sabbath-school and church were not without their reward. The book is in charge of West Cornwall Sabbath-school.
EZRA DWIGHT PRATT and Anna Aurelia had four children :
Mary Aurelia, who died in infancy.
Dwight Mallory. Harriette J. Hubert Miner.
Dea. Ezra D. Pratt d. Jan., '93 ; his wife Anna A. d. '92.
Mr. Pratt spent his entire life as a farmer on the ancestra! homestead on Cream Hill. His thrift and energy have left their impress on one of the best farms and most pleasant homes in his native town. In every respect he was a representative of the best type of Puritan life in New England : devout, without a sug- gestion of the austere; genial and kind, yet decided in action and positive in his convictions. This combination of the strong and gentle made him universally beloved. From the age of nineteen until fifty, his winters were devoted to teaching with marked success.
His literary tastes were indicated also by his love for history, biography, and especially for poetry. His ability for memorizing and quoting the standard English poets was remarkable for one whose life was necessarily devoted so exclusively to agriculture. His love for sacred hymns was as rare as it was beautiful.
For thirty-five years he was deacon of the church, and together with his wife, a woman of marked spiritual energy and devotion, left an impress upon their home, their church, and community which was an inspiration and help to all who came under its in- fluence.
DWIGHT M. PRATT, the oldest son, graduated at Williston Seminary, 1870; Amherst, 1876; Hartford Theological Seminary, 1880; D.D., Marietta, 1901. His first pastorate, of eight years, was at Higganum ( Haddam), Conn .; his second over the Pilgrim Church, Pueblo, Colo; his third over the Williston Church, Port- land, Maine; his present one of the Walnut Hills Church, Cincin- nati, O., March 25, 1900. In 1891 Mr. Pratt published a volume entitled "A Decade of Christian Endeavor." His wife, Martha
