If we go back through these messages, there is one (can't find it right
now) where Dan referred to a memorial on the Find A Grave web site. It
has a photo of Henry's grave stone, the name William Henry "Henry"
Rogers, gives his date and place of birth, death in 1904 in Springfield,
Lane Co., OR. It identifies his wife, and four children. It also has a
picture of a post card sent to Gertie Brabham in Eugene (one of the
children of Henry and Elizabeth) from "Father and Mother". The
individual who created the memorial also has memorials for two of Henry
& Elizabeth's children, with photos of obituaries, Elizabeth's death
certificate, and a post card that Gertie wrote to her mother. The email
address of the person who created the memorial is available on the Find
A Grave page, and it seems to me that if she has that much family
information, she may have more to offer if Dan were to contact her. For
anyone on this list who wants to take a look, the address for Henry's
memorial is: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=34106056
Also, with the information from the National Archives regarding Henry's
Civil War service, which includes his location of death, combined with
his widow's application for a pension in September, 1904, the issue of
when he died, and where he is buried should be resolved. Seems to me
that the only thing still lacking is Dan's question as to what company
manufactured Henry's gravestone.
