Notes:

J. C. RODGER, V. S. The veterinary doctor and surgeon of today recognizes the benefit of science as applied to his profession, and it is a noteworthy fact that, within the last several decades, the course in this line has been as strict as that of a regular doctor of medicine, while the scope of practice being wider, many of the progressive men of today are taking up the veterinary line in preference. One of the successful veterinarians of Madison County is found in the person of Dr. J. C. Rodger, a member of the firm of Rodger & Catey, of No. 715 Jackson street, Anderson. Dr. Rodger was born near the city of Toronto, Canada, August 24, 1865, and is a son of John and Helen (Cowan) Rodger, both natives of Scotland, the father being a farmer. He was a man of energy, became prosperous and much respected in his community, and owned a large farm in the vicinity of Toronto, where both he and his wife passed away in the year 1901.

The early education of Dr. Rodger was secured in the public and high schools of Toronto, and he spent some little time on the farm. There he showed a decided inclination for the veterinary profession, this having been developed through his love and understanding of animals, and he accordingly decided to enter upon a professional career. He entered the Toronto Veterinary College, one of the oldest and best institutions of its kind in America, and was graduated in 1887, coining to the United States in the same year and locating at Anderson. Here he opened an office and established himself as a veterinary surgeon, and as he became acquainted and known as a graduate of a college, his practice extended and he was soon in the possession of an excellent professional business. It now extends not only all over Anderson, but to various points in Madison and adjoining counties. He devotes his practice to all domestic animals, of which he has made a careful study, and his success in cases of a complicated nature has placed him well up among the leaders of his calling. In 1904 Dr. Rodger formed a partnership with Oscar M. Catey, under the firm name of Rodger & Catey, and this association has continued to the present time. Dr. Rodger's skill has caused him to be called upon to lecture on various occasions, and for ten years he was an instructor on Bovine Pathology in the Indianapolis Veterinary College, Indianapolis. He is a member of the Indiana Veterinary Medical Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association. He is a prominent Mason, belonging to Mount Moriah Lodge No. 77, F. & A. M., to Anderson Chapter No. 52, R. A. M., and to Anderson Commandery No, 32, K. T. He is connected likewise with Murat Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., and has attained to the thirty-second degree in Indiana Consistory.

The stables of the firm of Rodgers & Catey, at No. 715 Jackson street, are substantially constructed in modern manner, are 32×144 feet, and include all modern equipment, box stalls and exercising yard in the rear.

James Richardson - Ayr Loses One of Its Most Esteemed Citizens - In the death of James Richardson, which occurred on Thursday night after a short illness of La Grippe and pneumonia, the village loses one of its oldest and most esteemed citizens. He was born in Roxburg, Scotland, 88 years ago, and came to Richwood, with his parents, when but a child. On June 6th, 1876, he was married to Elizabeth McCrow, in Paris, by the Rev. McLeod, and celebrated his golden wedding anniversary at the home of Mrs. McCrow, Paris Station, a year and a half ago. He farmed for a few years on the Sixth Concession of Blenheim and from there moved to his late residence in Ayr some 48 years ago. His great love for the late Rev. Walter Inglis prompted this move. He was an elder and Sabbath school teacher in Stanley Street Church for a great many years, and also acted in the former capacity in Knox United Church after the consummation of the union. Deceased was a Christian of sound convictions, faithful in his duties and church membership, and his Godly life and outstanding character have had a great influence on those with whom he came in contact. He is the last member of a family of nine, and is survived by his sorrowing widow, to whom the sympathy of the community is extended in her sad bereavement. A few lines memorized by one of his former Sunday school scholars sum up briefly the rule which governed the life of deceased: "Blessed are they that undefiled and straight are in the way; who by the Lord's most holy law do walk and do not stray." The funeral on Saturday afternoon was attended by many old friends and neighbors. The services were conducted by Rev. J. W. Currie, and the pallbearers were: Messrs. J. W. Currie, A. G. Watson, William Nicoll, Charles McKay, John L. Black and William Manson.
