The following was originally printed in the Rolla Herald January 13, 1898 and was reprinted in the old Settler’s Gazette in 1998.
“A letter from N.B. Slaughter, of Vest, MO, informs us of the death of Uncle Massie Rodgers, which occurred at the home of Jacob Long, near the Wagon Ford of Big Piney, December 21, 1897. Mr. Rodgers was over 85 years of age and an excellent citizen. In the summer of 1896 he plowed and raised a crop of corn, some 200 bushels."
