Samuel L Rogers tribute Added by georgepark01 on 4 Jun 2009 The following resolutions should have been published last week, but lack of power (electrical outage) prevented. The announcement on the evening of June 18, 1925, that Sam L. Rogers was dead, and that he would no longer be with or again take the place or places that he had so honorably and efficiently filled, could hardly be realized by anyone. From his earliest days up to the time of his death, he had been interested in every public question that presented itself to the people of his County and town, and no one was more universally loved or confided in than Sam L. Rogers, considered by all a man of sound judgment, being born in Macon County and growing up among its people. At an early age the people demanded his services, and elected him Clerk of the Superior Court of Macon County to which office he was elected at about the age of 21 years. Later he was appointed as chief clerk in the office of U. S. Collector of Internal Revenue at Asheville. Later on, he was appointed as U. S. Collector of Internal Revenue. Following this period he was elected State Corporation Commissioner, and filled this position for 12 years. In 1915 he was appointed Director of the Census, and filled this position until the administration changed hands. In all the places entrusted to him, there never was a murmur or charge that they were not filled with the greatest and highest ability, and managed by the most conscientious and economical methods. After his return home from Washington City, he remained with his family and friends until he was appointed by Gov. A. W. McLean as a member of the State Salary and Wage Commission, taking the place of Secretary, and had just entered upon his duties as such, when he was taken ill. Mr. Rogers became interested in the first bank that was established in Macon County, the Bank of Franklin, and has been a constant, safe upright, and conscientious director of the bank and its management since its first opening in Franklin. The banks success has been to a large extent due to his untiring efforts in its behalf and in behalf of its patrons; the people having 'confidence in him and the management of the bank finding his advice sound at all times. No man in Macon County has been more extensively trusted. His life has been a shinning light to the people of Macon County, the State of North Carolina and the Nation and to the institution known as the Bank of Franklin. "Still will the mighty flame burn on Through chance and change, Through good and ill, Like its own Gods eternal will Deep, constant, bright, unquenchable!" Now in view of the above, it shall be resolved by the Board of Directors of the Bank of Franklin: 1. That the Bank mourns the loss of a wise, upright, faithful, efficient and honest director, and that it shares with all the citizens of the Town, State, County and Nation in the loss of this good man. 2. That this bank tenders to the widow and children of the deceased its deepest and most profound sympathy in the loss of a loving husband and father whose place in their lives can never be filled. 3. That this preamble and these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this board and a copy thereof be furnished by the cashier to the family of the deceased, and to the Franklin Press. (SIGNED) S.
