Robert Rogers and familyFrom left to right, the people in this photograph are: Robert Rogers (holding George Robert Rogers), Frederick Alexander Rogers, Mary Ann Rogers (nee Shepherd), and Martha Scope. Martha Scope was Mary Ann's youngest daughter by her first husband, John Fairs Scope, who died of illness in 1911. Though she was only six when he died, Robert - known as "Robbie" - was fondly remembered by his step-daughter Martha. Based on the appearance of the children in the photograph, it's estimated that this photograph was taken in or around late 1916.
