ROGERS, Lieuen, Beeville Bee, Thursday, 1 Nov 1888:

News reached here Tuesday of the death of one of the oldest, best known and most loved 
citizens of S. W. Texas, Judge Lieuen Rogers, of Refugio, which event occurred on Monday the 
29th, ult.  Judge Rogers has been identified with Texas affairs since an early day, having served 
in the Mexican War, been in the early Ranger service and the war between the states on the 
Confederate side.  In a civil capacity he served in the 13th Legislature, the first Democratic 
Legislature after the reconstruction, and since 1876 has filled the office of county judge of 
Refugio county.  The news of his death will cause much regret over this section.
