The latter was born in Van Zandt County, Tex., October 15, 1863, and was the first born of a family of six children of Benjamin K. and Sarah A. (Adams) Rodgers, who were native Tennesseans. They were married in 1862, in West Point, Ark., and at once moved to Texas, where they lived until the end of the Civil War. They afterward returned to Arkansas, and settled in White County, but in January, 1886, moved to Howard County, where Mr. Rodgers has followed the occupation of a bookkeeper. William C. Rodgers received the principal part of his early education in the public schools of White County, where he was raised, but at the age of twenty-one he became a book-keeper and collector for a firm in Little Rock. He had been for some time privately studying law, but in 1886 entered the office of Mr. Feazel as a student, and in July, 1887, was admitted to the bar, and the following fall was taken in as a partner by his former preceptor. They constitute one of the wide awake firms of the county, and have a thorough knowledge of their calling. Mr. Rodgers promises to become an influential attorney. He is a member of the Episcopal Church.
