         AMOS ROGERS, one of the oldest residents of
       this vicinity, after a  year's suffering with

       had been for many years a member of the Metho-
       dist church and was respected by all who knew
       him. He leaves a wife and five sons to mourn
       his loss. The funeral was held at his late
       residence Monday afternoon at one o'clock.

         One of the strong and forceful characters
       of town and county passed away last Friday
       morning, when AMOS ROGERS of Panton, well-
       known in Vergennes and vicinity, succumbed
       to a six months illness with cancer of the
       stomach. MR. ROGERS was 67 years of age and
       leaves a wife, five sons, JOSEPH of Panton,
       FREDERICK of Los Angeles, Cal., EDWARD A.
       of Ferrisburg and WILLIAM and CHARLES of
       Fitchburg, Mass.; one brother, FRANK ROGERS
       of Whitehall, N.Y., and one sister, MRS.
       DANIEL NORTON of Ausable Forks, N.Y.
       
         MR. ROGERS was a steward in the Methodist
       church in Panton at the time of his death,
       although his earlier life was spent among
       rough, hard-handed men in the steamboating
       business, where the deceased spent 40 years
       of his life as engineer on tug boats and
       passenger steamers on Lake Champlain and
       connecting canals. He is said to have al-
       ways held his own with the best of his
       associates in whatever field of labor.
       
         The funeral was held Monday from his late
       residence in Panton, Rev. J. Hall Long of
       Tinmouth officiating.
