At some point, Arthur Perley Rogers and family moved from Vermont to Buffalo, NY. My mother says he went blind after breaking the world's record for flag-pole-sitting, from being in the bright sun so long.
A picture of him at a fair in Buffalo, NY (I believe), on top of the pole has a sign below that says:
Arthur (Colonel) Rogers
"Flag Pole Sitter"
World Record
Now 1370 hours
This is my great-grandmother's brother. Would like to know when and where any of these family members died and were buried. When, where, and to whom the children married, and if there are any of his descendants still living. Happy to share with them the research I have on the Rogers family here in Vermont.
Thank you... Tootsie
