According to the History of NE IN-Lewis Publisher-1920-" Dr. David Rogers from New
York State was an early settler who came to the area and there is a monument to him on the
property. Dr. Rogers was a true naturalist and collected roots and herbs. He was wealthy
and owned 1,280 acres of land in Clearspring and Eden Twp.,LaGrange Co." The Home was
located in Clearspring Twp. To get there go south of LaGrange on the Hawpatch Road 5
miles, turn right and go 1 mile, turn right and go about 3/4 miles more or less. The last
I knew the house was still standing. It is a large brick structure on the left side of the
road.Also there is a lovely park on the property. The county sold the house and some land
& took the rest of the property to establish a park. I no longer live in LaGrange
Co., but I grew up 1 mile from the home.
