Biographical history

Jean Rogers was born in Northampton, New Brunswick, in 1904. She received her early education in that province, and in 1923 she graduated from Carleton county Vocational School in Home Economics. Later she took her training at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, graduating as a Registered Nurse in 1928. She worked briefly in Ann Arbour, but the Great Depression forced her to return to Montreal. For most of her career she was a private duty nurse in the Royal Victoria Hospital complex. Among her patients in 1956 was Dr. John Williamson. When he was diagnosed with cancer, he returned to his home in Tanganyika (Tanzania) and invited Miss Rogers to come and be his nurse. She stayed with him from October 1957 until his death in January 1958. Jean Rogers retired in 1970.
