CAPT. EDGAR F. ROGERS
CAPT. EDGAR F. ROGERS.--One of the many interesting citizens of Sacramento County and a trusted employee of the Sacramento Navigation Company, is Capt. Edgar F. Rogers, who was born on September 2, 1894, at Sacramento, the son of Charles H. and Lizetta (Strickett) Rogers. His father, a native son of the Golden West, was a seafaring man; and his mother, a native daughter of Marysville, Cal., comes from a pioneer family of dauntless courage. They are now residing at 1310 S. Street, in the city of Sacramento.
Edgar F. Rogers received his education in the public schools. For five years he was employed as a clerk in a shoe store, and thereafter employed in the shipyards. A man of integrity and alertness, attentive to business, and of studious habits, he received his captain's papers in 1919. Politically, Captain Rogers favors Republican principles, and takes a lively interest in the affairs of his party. He is a member of the National Mates and Pilots Association. Fond of outdoor life, he is especially interested in hunting and baseball.
