• Notes

  From: Jim Rogers [mailto:jrogers61@cox.net] Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2007 10:25 AM To: Peggy Hooper; Dorothy Keefe Subject: Rogers Reply Peggy, My brother (lives in Topeka) was going to the courthouse and see if he could find divorce papers for Minnie and Benjamin. Ben: The story in the family was that Ben had fallen off of a horse and severely injured his back and was sent to a hospital in Denver Co. The other story was that he had tuberculosis and was sent to a sanatorium in Denver Co. I had always thought that this happened while they were out in Sharon Springs, Ks because that was close to Colorado border. But I did find that they were living in Topeka, Ks in the 1920 census in a house that in later years aunt Irene lived in and was also only 1 block from where we lived. So I'm not sure what happen for him to go to Colorado. Now I wonder if it wasn't because of the divorce. That's why I really want to get Ben's DC. From: Jim Rogers [mailto:jrogers61@cox.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 2:25 PM To: Dorothy Keefe; Peggy Hooper Subject: Kansas Census 1855-1915 ....There is no date on the letter, in the letter he says that Ben and family sold the homestead in Wallace County in 1912 and moved to Missouri and then moved to Topeka, Kansas before Dorothy was born in 1914. I am going to try to find Irving (Flora's son) I have not heard from him for probably 20 years.
