11. Julia Ann Rogers was born 28 Mar 1855 in Adams Co, Ohio. She died 31 May 1923 (Death Record Page 1 2) in Grant Co. IN and was buried in Knox Chapel Cemetery, Section A.. NOTE: Julia’s obituary, as well as the obituary transcribed above for George, identifies May 31, 1923 as her date of death, rather than the July 2, 1923 date showing on her death record. Possibly the death record incorrectly has the date the Health Department was informed for the date of death. Julia’s parents were John Wilson Rogers and Sarah Catherine Jones.
