Rogers, established furniture and undertaking business in Sandy Hill, now called Hudson Falls. Around 1885, an employee named Arthur H. Carleton showed interest in the business, became partners with Mr. Rogers and they incorporated in 1916 under the name of Rogers and Carleton, Inc. The business was located in Hudson Falls on the west corner of Wall St. now Park Place where the sign for the St. Mary’s/St. Paul’s Catholic Church now sits. On 3 Feb 1920 that area of the business district was destroyed by fire. Mr. Rogers was an elderly man and decided to divest himself of the corporation, allowing Arthur Carleton’s son, Will, to take a more active roll in the business. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~challis/index/pafg427.htm Harper N Rogers was born about 1841 in of Greenwich, Washington, New York.

HEADQUARTERS ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THIRD NEW YORK VOLUNTEERS SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, December 24, 1864. To Captain D. W. Palmer, Assistant Adjutant-General, First Brigade First Division 20th Army Corps : CAPTAIN: I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of this regiment from the occupation of Atlanta by the United States forces to the present time. Shortly after the occupation of Atlanta by our forces, the Twentieth army corps, having been assigned to the duty of garrisoning the city, this regiment went into camp on the north-east of the town. The troops built themselves comfortable and commodious quarters, and stringent measures were adopted for preserving the health of the men, somewhat impaired by the protracted campaign and defective diet With the exceptions hereafter noted, the regiment remained here in camp until the fifteenth November following, engaged in the customary duties of the garrison, namely, drills, picket-guards, and fatigue upon the fortifications. On the twenty-first day of October, this regiment, in connection with other forces, and a large number of wagons, the whole under the command of Colonel Dustin, went upon a foraging expedition into the Snapfinger Creek and South-River valleys. A large amount of corn and fodder was gathered here, but I have no definite knowledge or official information of the amount. The expedition returned, without being molested, on the twenty-fourth October. On the twenty-ninth October, this regiment, with the other regiments of the brigade, went to Decatur in aid of a foraging party under command of Brigadier-General Geary, and returned the same day without having seen the enemy. On the fifth day of November, this regiment, in connection with the other regiments of the Twentieth army corps, broke camp, and moved out upon the McDonough road, and encamped for the night. It returned the next day, and reoccupied its old camp. These movements comprise all the field operations of this regiment during its stay in Atlanta. During this time, attention was paid to perfecting discipline, which was somewhat relaxed by a long and arduous campaign. The men were fully clothed and equipped, convalescents called in from hospitals, the returns of company officers completed and sent in, and every effort made to bring the command to a condition for active service. The regiment here received eight of their ten months' pay, then due. Forty-three (43) recruits were received here, but so shortly before moving from the city that but little instruction in drill could be imparted. They are, however, a good class of men, and have, in the main, proved themselves good soldiers. The elective franchise, conferred by an act of the New York Legislature, at its last session, was here exercised, and, it is believed, with less of partisan heat and undue influence than ordinarily occurs at elections held in communities free from military authority. Every preparation having been made, in obedience to orders which had been previously received, on the fifteenth November the regiment, together with the other troops composing the Twentieth army corps, moved out of the city on the Decatur road, taking the route via Stone Mountain, Boxbrulge, and Social Circle, to Madison, which we entered on the nineteenth November. Thence, taking the Milledgeville road, we passed through Eatonton, and on the twenty second November passed through Milledgeville, crossed the Oconee, and encamped on the east bank. 
< http://www.28thga.org/gallery_123rd/123ny_hq_col_james_c_rogers_1.jpg On the twenty-third, the regiment destroyed one mile of the railroad leading to the Georgia Central. On the twenty-fourth November, we moved from Milledgeville via Hebron, Sandersville to Tennille, where we encamped the night of twenty-sixth November. Near Sandersville, there was some skirmishing, and the regiment was moved forward on the double-quick, with aid of Colonel Robinson's brigade, but the enemy fled, and the regiment was not engaged. On the twenty-seventh November, we moved to Davisboro. The twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth November, in connection with other troops, we destroyed all the Georgia Railroad from Davisboro to Bostwick, with trifling exceptions. This regiment effectually destroyed three (3) miles of road, tearing up and burning the ties, and twisting the rails. November the thirtieth, the Ogeechee was crossed without opposition, and we encamped for the night about four miles south of Louisville. Pushing south-easterly, we passed through Springfield on the eighth December. The march was much impeded near this place by the marshy nature of the ground, rendering it very difficult to move the trains of wagons and artillery. On the ninth day of December, the First brigade, First division, being in advance, at a point near Harrison's plantation, about four (4) miles from the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, and fourteen (14) miles from Savannah, when the road passed through a difficult marsh, the road was found blockaded by felled trees, and a redoubt, with a piece of artillery, planted to command the defile. The regiment, with the rest of the brigade, forced its way through a dense jungle and marshy ground to the left of the road, and as soon as it could be formed on solid ground, the brigade advanced in line upon the enemy's works. Alarmed by our near approach, or that of the cooperating forces, the enemy tied, and we encamped for the night On the tenth December, we moved upon Savannah, and meeting the enemy, we went into position about four and a half (4 ½) miles from the city, between the Savannah and Augusta pike and the river, a flooded rice-swamp and canal in our front, with a narrow belt of timber intervening. With the exception of a slight alteration in position, we remained here until the twenty-first December, subjected at all hours of the day and night to a heavy fire from the enemy's batteries; but, thanks to fortune or their unskilful artillerists, nearly every shell flew harmlessly over our heads. As the day dawned on the twenty-first, it was discovered that the enemy had evacuated the works in our front. The regiment was at once placed under arms, and soon after crossed the swamp, and entered the enemy's works; and later in the day, went into the camp assigned it on the banks of the Savannah River, just outside the city, where it is now resting from its labors. During this movement, the subsistence stores have been gathered almost exclusively from the country. Sweet potatoes have supplied the place of bread; and beef and pork, gathered in the country, have supplied the usual army rations of meat. Beside what was consumed at the time, twenty (20) odd beef cattle were turned over by the regiment to the Commissary Subsistence of the brigade, and a number of fine mules and horses to the Brigade Quartermaster. During the ten (10) days before the city, rice was issued instead of bread or potatoes. Ten (10) days' rations of hard bread, and three and a half (3½) days of salt meat were the only issues of those rations brought from Atlanta up to the time of entering Savannah. Fourteen (14) officers and seventy-three (73) men having been detached for various duties in the corps, the regiment left Atlanta on the fifteenth November with eighteen (18) officers and four hundred and forty-seven (447) men, and entered Savannah on the twenty-first December with eighteen (18) officers and four hundred and forty-six (446) men, the only loss during the campaign being one (1) man, Edward Phair, a private of company B, who, straggling from the regiment near Madison, was probably captured by the enemy's cavalry. The health and physical vigor of the command has not only been preserved, but greatly improved during the campaign, and the troops are now, with the exception of clothing, of which they are in great need, better fitted for active service than when they left Atlanta. While the highest state of discipline could not be preserved from the peculiar character of the movement, I take pleasure in saying that under circumstances of extraordinary temptation, this command has, in a great measure, been preserved from the vices of straggling and marauding. Both officers and men have always exhibited a cheerful willingness to perform every duty imposed on them, and a large share of that unquestioning confidence in the leader of this army, which is so important an element in the success of military movements. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, JAMES C. ROGERS, Lieutenant-Colonel Commanding. Above Report of James C.
