Death of Henry H. Rogers Reverberates Through Fairhaven
The loss of Henry H. Rogers, famed builder of the Virginian Railway and leader at Standard Oil, is felt in Fairhaven Massachusetts his birthplace. His gifts to Fairhaven exceed 4 million dollars including schools a library a town hall and a grand church complex. He spent years as town street superintendent funding macadamized roads sidewalks and gutters and he personally oversaw park creation from pond land. Rogers endured a notable health scare en route to New York when appendicitis prompted a swift surgical plan and his swift recovery followed. He held executive roles in Standard Oil and several major companies and supported arts and civic institutions in New York and beyond. His Virginian Railway opened in 1892 after much public effort, with many dignitaries in attendance. Julia Ward Howe remarks on aging adds a final, lighter note to the day.
