JAMES
TAYLOR ROGERS
Past Grand Master Workman.
There is no society that, during the
time it has been in existence in this State, has enlisted a more able corps of
leaders than the Ancient Order of United Workmen.
Prominent among those who have given
their time and efficient labor in building and establishing this order is Bro.
Rogers. His services were first enlisted in 1878, as a member of Ukiah Lodge,
No. 33. As a representative to the Grand Lodge his zeal and ability were soon
discovered, and he was elected Grand Overseer in 1881, Grand Foreman in 1882,
and Grand Master Workman in 1883, and Representative to the Supreme Lodge in
1888. He is a forcible speaker, logical debater, has a fine address, and his
administration was a very successful one.
In the F. and A. M., Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, and Knights of Honor he has filled prominent official
positions. As an Attorney-at-Law he ranks with the leading members of the bar,
and has a lucrative practice. His characteristics are strict integrity, open,
honest dealing, with a purpose of following principle rather than policy. He is
one of the firm of Rogers, Matthews & Chilstrom, Attorneys-at-Law, San Francisco.
