LEONARD P. ROGERS, M.D. , Buffalo village, is the third of a family of ten children, nine living, of Uriah and Hettie A. Rogers, nee Myers, and was born April 20, 1852, in Fairfield county Ohio. His parents who were both natives of Burks county, Pennsylvania, were married in 1845. Mr. Rogers learned the carpenter trade in youth and pursued it up to the time of his marriage, but has since devoted his attention to farming. In the autumn of 1854, he moved with his family to Illinois, and settled in Mechanicsburg township, Sangamon county, where they still reside two and a half miles east of Buffalo. The subject of this memoir was educated chiefly in Burlington, Vermont; read medicine in Mechanicsburg, Illinois, and attended lectures in Rush Medical College, Chicago, from which he graduated with the degree of M.D., February 15, 1876. On March 10th following, he opened an office and commenced practice in Buffalo. In June, 1877, he was elected county physician, and has filled that office continually to the present time, by annual re-elections. Dr. Rogers has enjoyed a large and lucrative practice from the first, and now has all he can do. He is a member of the Sangamon county Medical Association. His father was born in 1818, his mother, in 1827.
