Description	:	Ellen or 'Nellie' (as she was referred to by my family), was the daughter of Jonathan Rogers and Hannah Hoskins. Jonathan Rogers was 54 years old when he married 18 year old Hannah Hoskins (marriage records shows her maiden name as HARKINS) on April 30, 1842 in Jackson Co., Michigan. Jonathan Rogers evidently passed away after his enumeration in the 1850 U.S. Census dated August 23, 1850 and before the marriage of his wife, Hannah, to John Turner Davie. I am unable to locate their marriage record, but their first child was born in December... Read More	Ellen or 'Nellie' (as she was referred to by my family), was the daughter of Jonathan Rogers and Hannah Hoskins. Jonathan Rogers was 54 years old when he married 18 year old Hannah Hoskins (marriage records shows her maiden name as HARKINS) on April 30, 1842 in Jackson Co., Michigan. Jonathan Rogers evidently passed away after his enumeration in the 1850 U.S. Census dated August 23, 1850 and before the marriage of his wife, Hannah, to John Turner Davie. I am unable to locate their marriage record, but their first child was born in December of 1851. Nellie was married to Benjamin Franklin Roberts (my gg-uncle) on March 26, 1866. MRS. B. F. ROBERTS COMMITS SUICIDE Body Of Well Known Dunlap Woman Found In A Pond Special to The Daily Nonpareil. Dunlap, Iowa, August 24 The people of this community were immeasurably shocked this morning to learn that Mrs. Roberts, wife of Hon. B. F. Roberts, had committed suicide at an early hour this morning by drowning herself in the pond a few rods from the beautiful country home two and a half miles from town. For several weeks the deceased had been in a serious nervous state, and this caused temporary derangement of the mind, which ended in her self destruction. The home life of Mr. and Mrs. Roberts had always been ideal, and surrounded with every comfort. The husband missed his wife about 6 o'clock in the morning and hurriedly dressing instituted a search for her. About to give up in despair, he went to the pond and was horrified to find his wife's shoes on the platform. The water was not very deep at this point and the body was found by the husband at the end of the second platform, about ten feet from the bank. Every possible effort was made toward resuscitation, but to no avail, as the body had been in the water some time. Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts and family spent the day at the home of Mrs. Roberts' brother, Hon. W. A. Davie, south of Dunlap, and she seemed to enjoy the day, returning home in the evening, returning home in the best of spirits and in usual health. Before retiring she entered the more important events of the day in a diary, talked pleasantly to friends who called her over the telephone and attended to a few minor details for the following day. Mrs. Roberts' kindly disposition drew to her many friends. She was known as a woman who possessed that genuine benevolence that was a boon to suffering humanity, and she was never too weary with the day's toil to go to a neighbor's home at any hour and render what assistance she could. She was a member of the Congregational church. Her maiden name was Ellen Rogers, and she was born June 3, 1813, near Jackson, Michigan. She removed with her parents to Illinois, later to the eastern part of Iowa, and to Dunlap in 1864, She taught school in Harrison and Crawford counties until the close of the war of the rebellion. Oh March 26, 1836, she was united in marriage to Hon. B. F. Roberts. Two children were born--Miss Maria M. Roberts and Orris W. Roberts, the former, associate professor of mathematics at Iowa State college at Ames, and the latter, section director of the United States weather bureau at Bismarck, North Dakota. The hour and date of the funeral have not been arranged. Published in The Evening Nonpareil (Council Bluffs, Iowa) on Tuesday, August 25, 1908
