        WILLIAM M. ROGERS, farmer, was born in Salem, N.Y., Sep-
    tember 10, 1821.  His youth and early manhood were spent in his
    native State, partly in agricultural pursuits and partly in the 
    occupation of shoe making.  He was married to Miss CLARINDA 
    SADDLESON, of Cambria, N.Y., January 26, 1848.  She died December
    23, 1864.  Their children are EDWIN E., EMERY W. and CLARENCE M.
    They came to Michigan, April 17, 1857, and settled in Arbela.  He
    spent some time in clearing and farm work, but later resumed his
    trade, and devoted most of his time thereto, except when engaged
    in township or other business duties.  He was elected township su-
    pervisor in 1859, and served five years successively.  Later, he
    served as highway commissioner and justice of the peace.  On Janu-
    ary 1, 1868, he was married to Miss MARY MURPHY, of Arbela, with
    whom he still shares the toils and pleasures of conjugal life.
    Mrs. ROGERS was born in Conneaut, Ohio, January 8, 1838.  In the
    fall off 1872 he was elected country treasurer, and has served
    efficiently in that office for the last eight years.  He has in
    his farm home, in Arbela, 120 acres of land, with about forty im-
    proved, and with a thriving orchard of over 100 trees, and other
    pleasant home surroundings.  He has also 160 acres of other lands,
    and village property in Caro, consisting of a residence and six
    lots.  Fraternally, Mr. ROGERS is a Royal Arch Mason, and glories
    in brotherly love, relief and truth.
