General Notes: Husband - Lucien Payne Rogers


He was educated in the public schools, also attended Jamestown (New York) Academy and spent his early life at the home farm. He worked for his father in the saw mill for several years, then left home and spent four months in Cleveland, Ohio, taking treat-ment for his health. Later he settled on a rented farm at Rochelle, Ogle County, Illinois. This brings his career to the civil war period and reveals an interesting story: Lucien Payne Rogers enlisted in Company H, 92nd Regiment Illinois Volun-teer Infantry (which later was a mounted regi-ment), August 1, 1862. He went into camp with his company at Camp Fuller, Rockford, Illinois, but was rejected and refused muster on account of his health. At the same time an enlisted private of Company F, 74th Regiment Illinois Infantry, named Job Greenbaum, was missing, having deserted or been the victim of circumstances never explained. Captain H. C. Barker, commanding Company F, knowing Mr. Rogers had been refused muster, induced him to impersonate Greenbaum, and answer his name at roll call, which he did for over one year, doing full military duty, and fighting in the army of the west at Perryville, Kentucky, Stone River, Chickamauga and other battles. At the end of a year Mr. Rogers refused to answer any longer to the name of Greenbaum, and resumed his own name, serving ten months. He had applied to Captain Barker and asked him to rightfully enroll him on the company's books and give him credit for his full service, which he neglected to do. Captain Bradshaw, who succeeded Captain Barker (who was also a near relative), refused to do anything, say-ing he "did not want to get mixed up in the matter." Mr. Rogers served until June 27, 1864, never receiving pay or credit for his ten months' service under the name of Rogers, and pay only as Greenbaum, although he was injured in the hand in January, 1864, after the battle of Lookout Mountain, and granted a furlough in his own name. This written fur-lough long remained in his possession. On June 27, 1864, he left the regiment, and for another year was connected with the engineering corps, building military bridges, roads, etc. The officers of Company F were Captains H. C. Barker and George R. Bradshaw, and Lieu-tenants Edward L. Simpson and S. O. Troxel. The credit for ten months' service was due Mr. Rogers, although he was never able to obtain it from the war department, nor to interest his representative in congress suffi-ciently to take up his cause. The mystery surrounding Job Greenbaum was never cleared up, and Mr. Rogers was inclined to be-lieve he never existed except in Captain Barker's imagination.
After the war closed Mr. Rogers returned to Pennsylvania, and for about eight months en-gaged in the oil business at Pit Hole, Venango County; then settled at Warren, where he was engaged in lumbering until 1871. He then located at what is now Foxburg, Pennsylvania, in the same business until 1874. In the latter year he was in New Orleans, where, during the winter of 1874-1875, he was deputy col-lector of internal revenue at Bay St. Louis. In April, 1875, he returned to Warren, where he entered into partnership with his brother, Burton W. Rogers, and operated the old water power saw mill belonging to their father. They continued in successful business opera-tion until 1885, increasing the output of the old mill threefold. In the latter year Lucien P. Rogers retired from the firm, and for several years after was interested in the operation of a planing mill and a chair factory. Beginning in 1896 he was engaged in the production of oil, and resided in Warren, Pennsylvania. He was a member of the Presbyterian church. Beginning in 1884 he was a third party Prohibitionist, active in the support of that party and run-ning on their ticket for assembly, and for many other offices. [GPHAV, 913]
