Edward Congdon Rogers ’30

Edward died in early November after 10 years of living with cancer. He was 90. He is survived by his widow, Grace Traften Fisher, son Richard '63, daughter-in-law M. Ann Harte Rogers, son-in-law "Buddy" August B. Schilling Jr., and three grandchildren.

Ed lived the last 50 years in Monmouth County, N.J., where he and Gracie enjoyed a pond-side retreat. Ed maintained contact with his Princeton roommates and friends, especially "Frank" O. Grubbs, and enjoyed a life-long love, support, and interest for Princeton affairs.

Ed served in WWI, protecting the Eastern shores on his calvary mount. He returned to The Prudential after the war, became assistant treas. in the corporate office, and retired after 25 years. Subsequently, he was with the Plainfield Trust Co., Irving Trust, and the Bank Building Co.

Ed was baptized as an adult, with his then infant son, at St. George's in Rumson, N.J., where he was also memorialized. Knowing that Ed was a thoughtful man who always extended his love to his neighbors, we are assured that the sailor is home in the Lord's harbor.
