| Laura Jane Rogers Wright, born June 1, 1916 in Indianapolis, Indiana to Thomas Pascal Rogers and Melinda Susan Scott. Laura was the youngest of seven children she had 2 sisters and four brothers, Della Clyde Rogers, Anna Ethel Rogers, John Wesley Rogers, who died as an infant, Noble Lee Rogers, Elmer Lloyd who died as an infant and David C. Rogers.Laura's father Thomas P. Rogers passed away when she was but six years old. Her mother and all her siblings died before her.Laura was a beautiful young lady. Our father Carl Wright met her and fell in love. They soon married and started a family, a large family it always amazed me that my mother knew so much and worked so hard with our family, after being the baby of her family.Laura had 12 children, 9 girls and 3 boys, all of which are still living. Our mother was the kind of Mother every child would want. She was very devoted to her family. Laura had lots of friends and everybody loved her. She was a great cook, she loved to cook, and she was the best.We always had a big bunch of people over at the holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas were the best.I remember she would have us kids hang our stockings up at Christmas, you know those old brown cotton ones. Our brother would borrow them at Christmas time. She would always fill them up with fruit and candy although she would say if you don't be good your stocking would have switches and coal.I remember one time when us kids were really young the first 6. Our Dad was in World War 2 over in Germany. Mom was pretty strict with us kids. She had made a big plate of fudge and set it on the table, she had to go next door to answer a phone call, she said before she left, 'don't touch that plate of fudge till I get back'. While she was gone we all took our fingers and got a little taste, when she got back and seen it she picked up the plate went out the back door with all of us kids behind wondering what she was going to do with it. She went back opened the garbage can and threw the fudge, plate and all in the trash. We learned a good lesson that day.Laura also enjoyed embroidery work, she made beautiful pillowcases and she also would make braided rugs. At one time she worked at the Greyhound Bus Garage cleaning buses, she also worked at the American Art and Clay in Speedway. She loved to go to garage sales and auctions. She was very devoted to our family. She left behind 12 children with heavy hearts and a great longing. She has earned her 'crown'. She was our best friend, our Mother. Here is a poem we gave to her.Our MotherOur Mother was a special oneWe all would sure agreeBecause she always had the timeTo listen to you and me.She loved her family very muchShe taught us many thingsNot to be selfish or jealousBut to forgive everything.We will always remember all theHard work for it was not easyYou see to be a special MotherTo this family.Her Children |
