Eugene D. Rogers, farmer and stockman and president of the Lathrop Bank, is a progressive citizen of Lathrop Township. He was born July 19, 1873, in Clinton County, the son of David F. and Mary E. (Stockton) Rogers. David F. Rogers was a native of Claiborne County, Tennessee, and his wife was born in Indiana. They both came to Missouri when they were young, and were married in Clinton County. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers were the parents of five children, two of whom died in infancy. The other three are: Eugene D., the subject of this sketch; Elizabeth C., the wife of Stephan Myers, St. Joseph; and Talton, farmer, residing in Liberty. David F. Rogers died Jan. 26, 1908, at the age of 77 years, and his widow died March 29, 1918.
Eugene D. Rogers was reared on his father’s farm, and received his education in the county schools, and later attended the normal school in Stanberry. After completing his education in 1894, Mr. Rogers engaged in farming and stock raising. He has been successful, and is well known throughout Clinton County as a successful feeder and stockman.
In 1899 Mr. Rogers married Eva M. Greason, a daughter of Preston P. and Jennie (McGaugh) Greason. Mr. Greason died in 1913, and his wife now resides in Converse. To Eugene D. and Eva M. (Greason) Rogers three children have been born, as follows: Herbert P., born May 22, 1900, now attending William Jewell College, in Liberty; Eugene F., born April 1, 1907, attending school; and Evelyn Lucile, born Aug. 19, 1916, attending school.
Mr. and Mrs. Rogers are members of the Presbyterian Church of Barnesville.
In 1899 Mr. Rogers was elected a member of the board of directors of the Lathrop Bank, and in 1900 he was elected president of the bank, which office he now holds. Mr. Rogers is well known in the county, where he has a reputation for good citizenship and progressive business ideas.
The Rogers residence is modern throughout and is located on the Sulphur Saline route, one mile east of Lathrop. It is one of the attractive farms of the county.
