Rogers & Co., and associated with the large English house of Rose, Inness & Co., of London. He conducted an extensive export business to South America. He was a disciplined man, of superior ability, an elegant penman, and an exponent of the highest ideal of business honor and integrity. In his home and among his friends his af- fections and sympathies were spontaneous, yet steadfast and enduring. He was an appreciative student of the English classics and of poetry, and his retentive memory was stored with choice selections of his favorite authors.

He then entered the employ of the agricultural house of Parker, White & Gannett, where he remained until 1862, engaging with William L. Bradley, the founder of an extensive business, and now known as the American Agricultural Chemical Company, the largest manufacturers in that line in the world.

He was president of the White Mountain Travellers' Association, 1894, and is a director of Commercial Travel- lers' Eastern Accident Association and of Commercial Travellers' Benefit Association, Boston, Mass. Mr. Rogers is a genial gentleman and an entertaining and accomplished companion.
