pf the reported death from violence of
Daniel Miner Rogers. the American
board missionary at Adana, in Asiatic
Turkey. He was stationed at Tarsus,
although his address in the year book
il given as Hadjin. both places being
not far distanst from Adana.
Len for Mission Field Last August.
Mr.. Rogers was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. d. Q. Rogers of this city, who
reside at 29 Camp street. He was or
dsined to the ministry in September,
1906. and became pastor at East Dor
set VT Choosing the foreign mission
field for his work, he was commission
ed last August in the South Congre-
gatiOnal church here and accompanied
bv bis wife left for Asiatic Turkey.
I-pon arrival at Tarsus he took charge
for. d time of the st. Pauls institute,
relieving his father-in-law, DR.. Theo-
dore Christie, who was president Of the
institution. Rev. Mr.. Rogers went
through the schools here, and in 1899

He leaves a widow and infant child.

OF Harvard and one sister is Miss E.
Gertrude Rogers, now in Van Gentry
Turkey. Another sister resides with

Of the missionaries In Adana is named
Morley. Another missionary we'll
known here ia Esther Maltbie but the
latest information as to her wherea-
bouts is that she was at Samokav in
Bulgaria.
In many of Mr.. Rogers letters ref
