From the Kingston Whig:-
After ailing for only two weeks, after a strenuous railroading career, Engineer Lewis Wilson Rogers, who resided at 234 Sydenham Street, passed away at his residence on Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock. The deceased was born in Lansdowne 55 years ago, and for the past sixteen years had been a resident in Kingston. During this latter period Mr. Rogers was engineer on the G.T.R. suburban train between Kingston inner station and Kingston Junction. Previous to this, he was employed as an engineer upon the main line of the G.T.R. Railroad system.
The deceased was an active member of St. Paul's Anglican Church where he was held in high esteem. He was also a member of the Independent Order of Oddfellows, the Masonic Order, and the Amalgamated Society of Engineers.
To mourn his loss, there are his wife and one daughter, Helen, residing at home. Three brothers and four sisters also survive:--Charles of Kalamazoo, Michigan; Albert of Montreal; William of Gananoque; Mrs. Geroge Nuttall; Mrs. Thos. Glover; Mrs. Thos. McKendry; and Miss Jennie, all of Gananoque.
The funeral was conducted on Wednesday afternoon. Service was held at the residence, where Rev. W. F. Fitzgerald officiated. The remains were buried in Cataraqui Cemetery.
