One of the most widely known men in Oklahoma, who was sheriff of Oklahoma County for 10 years, Mr. Rogers was born in Wichita, Kansas. He came to Oklahoma when he was seven months old, just after the "Run". His father homesteaded on a farm north and west of Yukon, Oklahoma. He came to Oklahoma City in 1909 and went to work for John Thomas in the grocery business. On November 7, 1928, he was elected Sheriff of Oklahoma County and served in that office from January 1, 1929 to January 1, 1939. After that time, he devoted his time to the oil business. Rogers was active in civic affairs, having been secretary-treasurer of the Community Fund and in the Chamber of Commerce.
