King Harrison Rogerson died Sunday evening from a cancer which had afflicted him for several years, sapping his life by inches, and causing the tortures of untold pain. He died at the home of his son, Nick Rogerson, in Beaufort County.
He was buried at the W.A. Tice burying ground near Smithwicks Creek Church Monday afternoon. The funeral was conducted by Elder John John N. Rogerson.
Mr. Rogerson was 76 years old. He leaves four children, Alonzo Rogerson and Mrs. A.B. Lilley of Williamston, Nick Rogerson of Washington, and Joshua Rogerson of Tarboro.
