This is my Great Grandmother Rhoda (Rogers) Trotter who would have turned 118 today (or tomorrow—there appears to be some disagreement between the documents and between family members) along with three of her children. Love the glasses! In back is my Grandpa Levie, in the middle is Aunt Lee Ellen (Trotter) Hampton, and on the end is Uncle Graham. Rhoda was the daughter of Pete and Mattie (Martin) Rogers. She married Harrison Trotter in 1911 and was the mother of 14 children. What few pictures I have seen and the stories I have heard make me wish I had met my Grandma (and Papa Monk).She died in 1981.
The digital files are from my father’s collection but the originals were turned in during a call for photos before our last Trotter-Rogers Reunion.

Love the photo Jessica! And the history… I am enjoying learning more and more about our family history, and members of the Trotter, and Hampton family through your blogs. I appreciate the work you are doing. Keep up the great work, and awesome blogs..
