The burial was at Lake City in Dr. Roger's family lot. The pall bearers were: F H Griebie, W G Brownell, C O Wescott, M W Niederkorn, D O Smith and W J Fletcher.
Miss Mary Etta Conway was born in the township of McGilvery in upper Canada on the 10th day of May A D 1846 and died at Farmington, on the 13th day of December A D 1903, aged 57 years, 7 months and 3 days.
The parents of the deceased, Mr. Patrick Conway and Mrs. Margaret Conway, moved into the United States in October A D 1857 and located in Pepin, Pepin county, Wis. The deceased went to live with a married sister who was living in the townshif Gilford, Wabasha county, Minnesota in the winter of 1860-1. By her own efforts she fitted herself for the profession of teacher and followed it for eight years, teaching in the public schools of Wabasha county the greater part of the time. Miss Conway and H N Rogers M D were married on the 18th day of February A D 1872 and lived at Zumbro Falls, in Wabasha county, State of Minnesota until A D 1886, when they moved to Whitehall, Trempeleau county, Wisconsin.

Her leading characteristics were, faithful and affectionate to her husband, loyal to her friends, methodical and orderly in her work, careful and economical in the management of her home, always in sympathy with those who were sick or who had other troubles, and always industrious.
The survivors of the immediate family of deceased include Mrs. Louise Wood and Mrs. F A Vrooman of Lakeville and Mr. E S Conway of the firm of W W Kimball & Co. of Chicago.
The deceased was generally beloved in the community in which she spent the closing years of her life. An uncomplaining sufferer, she was a comfort to those who were also sufferers, was deeply interested in them and with a sweet sympathy whichs never withheld, won many from their own troubles. Owing to her health, she was not able to do all she desired to help out the interests of those she lived among and loved, but the encouragement of her cheery interest was a great help in all matters of which she had knowledge. She will be long missed by a large circle of acquaintances and friends who mourh her loss and sympathize with her husband in his bereavement.
