| My great grandparents are Josephus
(b 15 Oct 1873 - d. 24 Nov 1918) and Caldonia (Riddle) Rogers (born 3 Feb 1878 - died 1 April 1954) and they are buried at Arnhart.
The only picture I have of them is taken of the original in a frame. My cousin had had it professionally mounted so I was unable to remove it, but
I'm happy to share it.
Pictured with them is my grandfather Temia Andrew Rogers, he was born in Purdy, Oct 27, 1898, and died in Sapulpa, Creek Co., OK, April 23, 1960.
