That's true about the name but he spoke of seeing something in a book in 
a store of a Henry Rogers died 1903 so thought possibly this might be 
the one that was listed in the book.

>>     Henry Rogers, resident of St Lawrence, Wisconsin enlisted in the

>>     state served Wisconsin.  He enlisted in Company F, Wisconsin 44th
>>     Infantry Regiment, was mustered out on 03 Jun 1865, died in Lane
>>     County, OR.  (Another record, not so complete,  says rank in &

>>     is a record on Ancestry that lists headsones provided for

>>     1904 is probably correct.  The record posted on Ancestry is from
>>     the National Archives, so you might be able to learn more
>>     information there.
>>
>>     Also from Ancestry, from the National Archives:  On August 4
>>     (could be 21 -- hard to read), 1890, Henry Rogers filed for
>>     invalid's pension (Application No. 932645, Certiricate 673293) in
>>     Minnesota.  Service was F. 44. Wis. Inf.  On Sep 6, 1904
>>     Elizabeth M Rogers filed for widow's pension (Application No.
>>     813103, Certificate No. 583574) in Oregon.
