Bio

The daughter of James M. Rogers and Dicie Ann Weatherford. She was a school teacher and died unmarried of tuberculosis at age 23. She is buried in a grave in the old Weatherford family cemetery marked only by a field rock. Dicie Ann Weatherford was the daughter of David Weatherford and Rhoda Lyons. She married James Moreman Rogers on 8 Nov. 1859 Breckinridge Co., Ky. They had eleven children: 1. Alfred Rogers; 2. William Rogers; 3. James Rogers; 4. Jackson Rogers; 5. Fannie Rogers; 6. Thomas Moreman Rogers; 7. Martin Rogers; 8 Charles Rogers; 9. George Rogers; 10. Philip Rogers; 11. Mattie Rogers. After James Rogers shot and killed John and Tobias Rusher in Hancock Co., Ky on Feb. 11, 1876 over their illegally cutting down a bee tree on his farm, Dicie posted his bail by putting up their farm. When James Rogers left for parts unknown, the farm was sold by the court forcing Dicie to return to the old Weatherford farm, where she lived with her brother, Charles Weatherford. After her death from kidney failure in 1914, Dicie was buried in the old Weatherford family cemetery, which was once located on her father, David Weatherford's farm. Her grave was marked only by a field rock.
