Rogers, John - 1914 - Linen Merchant
It is with sincere regret, both from a public and a personal point, that I have to announce the death of Mr. John Rogers, who for over half a century was honourably connected with the staple trade of the city. He passed away on Saturday at his residence, Derryvolgie Avenue. Mr. Rogers was long a distinct personality in the commercial, public, and political life of the city. He was a gentle man of strong individuality, high charades and yet modest, kindly, and unpretentious in his bearing. He was a native of Newtownards, and was born in 1839. He was privately educated in Belfast, and in 1855 entered the service of Messrs A. & S. Henry, one of the few firms that has remained in its old name from that time to the present. After completing his apprenticeship and gaining experience and position in the trade he joined the firm of Messrs. Henry Matier & Co., with which he was associated for a large part of his life. He ultimately became a partner in the firm, but after Mr. Matier's death the partnership was dissolved, and owing to ill-health Mr. Rogers was for twelve months out of business. On his recovery he was appointed managing director of the Brookfield Spinning Company, a position which he held for four years, during which his business knowledge and foresight were prominently displayed. Ill-health compelled him to retire from that position many years ago -- in the year 1900 -- and since then he did not take an active part in business, but he was elected chairman of the directors of the company, and held that position till his death. In commercial circles, and especially in connection with the staple trade, Mr. Rogers was held in the greatest respect, the soundness of his judgment and clearness of his foresight and his great knowledge of men and affairs rendering him an invaluable counsellor and advisor, Mr. Rogers was for many years a member of the Harbour Board, where his many business qualities and his quickness of thought and practical sagacity were highly appreciated, and were all freely employed for the benefit of the Trust and the city. Mr. Rogers was a staunch and sterling Liberal of the old school, but, in common with countless companions, he left Mr. Gladstone when he deserted Unionist Liberalism, which was his old policy. He was a staunch and unbending Unionist to the last; and one of the last conversations I had with him was on leaving a meeting of the Ulster Unionist Council, in whose work he took a great interest, and with which he sincerely sympathised. He was a popular member both of the Ulster Reform Club and the Union Club, and among the members of both his death will be deeply and sincerely regretted. Mr. Rogers was a member of the First Presbyterian (Unitarian) Church, Rosemary Street, and held the position of treasurer and member of the committee for many years. He was married in 1866. His wife predeceased him some fifteen years. He leaves three sons and two daughters. His tall, erect figure, his manly independence, and his straightforwardness, his staunch support of all that he believed true and right; his interest in all that made for the welfare of the city, the country, and the Empire are familiar to all who knew him.
