This was the building of the Virginia Rail- way. a. line which opened up a rich bituminous coal country in West Vir- ginia to the dewater terminal at Sewalls Point. Va. This road was dis. distinctly an individual undertaking of Mr. Rogers and be personal)" bore the greater part of the cost of its construc- tion. which has been estimated at “0.- 000.000. Mr. Rogers had embarked on his venture some time prior to the financial panic of 1907. whichchecked similar undertakings by some of the large railroad companies of this coun- try. but the work of building this line went on to its finish mainly because or the energy and faith which Mr. Rogers applied to the achievement of his pur- pose. Enrly In April, only a few weeks ago. the road was opened to traffic and Mr. Rogers invited some of his friends from New York to visit the new line and witness the arrival of the first trainioad of coal at Sewalls Point. Governor swanson. of Virginia, United States senators. members of congress and several hundred businesa men of Virginia and West Virginia were guests of Mr. Rogers and shared with him In celebrating the successful termination of his labor of building a railroad which was to be almost his pcrsonaland Individual property. The opening of the road was a suc- cess and after receiving the congratu- lations of the officials and business men of Virginia upon his splendid courage which had carried the work to its finish in the face of great finan- clal obstacles. Mr. Rogers returned to his home. in New York to enjoy the satisfaction which comes to any man upon the accomplishment of the great- est achievement of an active business life. His death. coming so soon after the end of this work and before he saw the fruitygf his labor in the develop- ment of'toe section served by his road. is regarded by his friends and associates among New York financiers as a regrettable ending ofa brilliant career in the business and financial world. . Mr. Rogers rose as he usually did. about five o'clock this morning. At six o'clock he complained of feeling ill and a physician was hurriedly sent for. His heart action was weak. and it was apparent that he was sunering from a stroke of apoplexy. This was the sec- ond illness of this nature suffered by Mr. Rogers. the first time having oc- curred In Juiy. 1907. 'e spite of all that could be done for him this morn- ing. Mr. Rogers sank rapidly and the end came peacefully at seven o‘clock. Following the seizure of amplexy in 1907 Mr. Rogers began putting his af- fairs in order. and he has been out of the stock market entirely for months. His interests in all of the corporations with which be had been identified baVe past year. This step was taken in or- der to safeguard his properties in the event of sudden death. FAIR HAVEN, Mass.
