#92: Preserved in Letters: The August 6 Brothers Who Didn't Make the Official Records
Today, August 6th, I'm recognizing the birth anniversaries of the two eldest children of Sidney David Rogers and Susan Elizabeth Lloyd — Frank (b. Aug 6, 1885) and an unnamed baby boy (b. Aug 6, 1886). Sadly, both boys died young: Frank passed away on July 4, 1888, and the unnamed baby died at just six weeks of age. Having married on October 5, 1884, this was a tragic start to Sidney and Susan's marriage. With Frank conceived so shortly after their wedding, their first two children were gone in a flash.
