Abstract:

Papers of Charles B. Rogers, a Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, attorney, consisting of correspondence, diaries, and material relating to civic projects; diaries of his mother, Angenette H. Rogers; and diaries, correspondence, and sermons of a great uncle, Reverend Joshua Britton, a Universalist preacher in New England prior to 1869 and at Fort Atkinson during the later years of his life. Rogers' correspondence concerns largely his interest in the University of Wisconsin and in alumni affairs. A few letters between 1893 and 1906 show his advocacy of the Single Tax. From the World War I period, the collection contains records of his chairmanship of the Liberty Loan Speaker's Bureau, 1918-1919, and Mrs. Rogers' records of her chairmanship of the county organization for The Fatherless Children of France, 1918-1920. Rogers' professional papers include records of the legal firm of his father, W. H. Rogers, and himself. Other papers include records of the City Hall Company of Fort Atkinson, 1881-1910; a volume listing cases tried in a justice court in Jefferson County, 1860-1868; and a record of receipts and expenditures of the First Universalist Church at Fort Atkinson, 1891-1899 and 1904.
