Passport Applications - Miss Willye A. Smith - 1918, 1920, and 1921

Miss Willye A. Smith, daughter of Thomas Jefferson Smith and Nancy Ellen Norris, was born at Hartford 7 August 1887.  Her first application states that she lives in Washington, DC and that she is employed by the Red Cross as a stenographer; the application is for permission to travel to the British Isles and France on behalf of the Red Cross.  Her second passport application, in 1920, states that she has lived in Paris since 1918, and she is employed by the Interallied Rhineland High Commission, American Department, as a stenographer, and that she temporarily lives in a hotel in Paris. The third application states that she remains employed by the Interallied Rhineland High Commission, American Department, but is now living in Coblenz, Germany.  The Inter-Allied Rhineland High Commission was created by the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919, to supervise the occupation of the Rhineland and "ensure, by any means, the security and satisfaction of all the needs of the Armies of Occupation". It came into being on 10 January 1920, when the treaty came into force. It was based in Coblenz.  The Commission lasted for 15 years.

Willye returned to Washington, DC in 1923 (age 35) and apparently never married; she died September 1976 in Washington.

Passport Application - Frances Kissinger Shaw - 1918

Frances (Fanny) Kissinger Shaw, the daughter of Frank Kissinger, was born at Fordsville 20 February 1882.  She states that she left the United States in 1913 and that she now resides in Santiago, Chile. I have not been able to find the name of her husband or any information regarding her death.

Note: My friend and fellow Ohio County researcher, Janice Brown, emailed me with more information about Frances. Her grand-parents were Sebastian Frank Kissinger (1837-1931) and Roseannah Slaughter (1845-1931). Frances was the 6th of 9 children (William B.; Rosa Belle; John A.; Andrew M.; Charles P.; Frances; Eliza M.; James Henry; and Ida).  I have not been able to identify her husband, other than Shaw being his surname.  Note that the Passport refers to a niece (Carmen) with the last name of Shaw.

Note: This item was originally posted 2/19/14 and, thanks to information received from S. L. Foster, was revised 2/23/14. My error was the father of Mary Magdalene Rogers. I originally used "Lon" and that was incorrect. There were twin brothers, "Lon" and "Fon" Rogers, and therein lies much confusion for researchers. Their given names were Alonzo and Alfonzo, so someone had a sense of humor. You will see an item about Lon Rogers and his passport application posted several items below. The following is corrected:

Miss Mary Magdalene Rogers, daughter of Alfonzo "Fon" Rogers and Ida Boyd Brown, was born at Hartford on 4 March 1901. She lived in Lexington with her family at the time of her application. She planned to travel to the British Isles, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and France. Magdalene attended the University of Kentucky. She married Donald Phillips Lane and they had two daughters, Fonita Rogers Lane and Donna Patricia Lane; the Lane family lived in Long Beach, California where Mr. Lane was an attorney. Magdalene died 3 May 1982 in Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky and is buried in Lexington Cemetery, Lexington, Kentucky.

Passport Application - D. Katherine Rogers - 1923

D. Katherine Rogers, single, daughter of Joseph Blackburn Rogers and Alzin Barnett, was born 18 December 1892, in Hartford. At the time of her application Katherine was living in Chicago. Her father was from Cromwell and was a Baptist minister. She planned to travel to France and Italy. Katherine listed her occupation as YMCA Secretary. She died 12 July 1989 in Urbana, Champaign County, Illinois.

Here is a biography of her father:

A Sesquicentennial History of the Green River Missionary Baptist Church 1836 - 1986, Written and Compiled by Wendell Holmes Rone, Sr.,For the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Founding of the Church, 1987. By permission of author. Ohio County.

JOSEPH BLACKBURN ROGERS, the Fifteenth Pastor of the Green River Baptist Church, served from January, 1896, through January, 1897.  He was a direct descendant of Charter Members Jonathan Rogers (1781-1844) and Elizabeth (Ray) Rogers (1782-1862), his paternal great-grandparents.  His paternal grandparents were:  Joseph Blackburn Rogers (1811-1864) and Mary Ellen (Milton) Rogers (1818-1871).  His parents were:  James Milton Rogers (b. February 18, 1842 - d. June 21, 1914) and Josephine (Taylor)Rogers (b. August 16, 1843 - d. May 24, 1917). They are both buried in the Fordsville Cemetery, Ohio County, Kentucky.  His father served in Company H, 3rd Regiment, Kentucky State Militia, during the Civil War.

     Brother Rogers was born on September 6th, 1867 in Cromwell, Ohio County, Kentucky, and died in Chicago, Illinois, on March 22, 1934.  He married Alzien Barnett on April 9, 1890 in Ohio COunty, Kentucky.  She had been born in Ohio County, Kentucky, on July 2, 1871, and died on December 6, 1951 in Champaign, Illinois. She was the daughter of Robert Emmet Barnett and Amanda Malvia (Phipps) Barnett.  They became the parents of four children, as follows: Jo Barnett Rogers (b. July 19, 1891 - d. March 4, 1919); Katherine Rogers (b. December 18, 1892 in Hartford, Kentucky); Ruth Rogers; and Alexander Rogers (b. October 6th, 1899).

     Brother Rogers probably became a Christian by 1890 and united by Christian Experience and Believer's Immersion with the Hartford Baptist Church.  By that Church he was licensed to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in October, 1895.  On January 15-16, 1896, at the request of the Mt. Zion Church he was ordained to the Gospel Ministry by the Hartford Church. He began serving immediately, on a quarter-time basis, the Mt. Zion,Hartford, Green River and Slaty Creek Churches.  He later served the Salem Church, in Butler County.  The other Churches were in Ohio County.  In the latter part of 1897 he moved to Moweaqua, Illinois, where he was still active in 1900, according to Lasher's "Baptist Ministerial Directory."  He seems to have spent the remainder of his earthly life in Illinois.
