My Great Aunt Beulah Margaret Williams Rogers

Aunt Beulah and her family including her sister, my Great Grandmother Dela Elnora Williams Norman Neher moved as a small child to Sutphens Mill, Dickinson County, Kansas. She graduated high school from Dickinson County High School. She then taught school for 15 years. She and her husband Clifford moved to Lawrence in 1937. Active in the Rebekah Lodge, she became president of the International Association of the Rebekah Assemblies in 1956-57 holding sessions in Miama, FL. During her term as president she traveled through the US, all providences of Canada and Cuba. Beulah and Clifford retired and 1961 and moved back to Chapman. They took my mother on several vacations when she was a child. I have many of her things including some jewelrey and pieces of pottery. She died when I was only 6 but I have a dim memory of visiting them in Chapman.
