        Dr. Sherman Rogers, one of the younger physicians and surgeons of 
Tulare, California, was born in Rogersville, Webster County, Missouri, September 
2, 1891. His father and grandfather were both physicians. He attended the Castle 
high school at Lebanon, Tennessee, and the University of Oklahoma, from which 
latter institution he was graduated in 1915. He then matriculated as a student 
in the medical department of the University of Southern California, where he was 
graduated as a member of the class of 1917, receiving the degree of Doctor of 
Medicine.
        Upon receiving his degree Dr. Rogers was made an interne in the Kings 
County Hospital. When the United States entered the World war in April, 1917, 
there was a call for volunteer physicians to act as army surgeons. Dr. Rogers 
answered the call and was commissioned a first lieutenant in the Medical Corps 
of the United States army. He was stationed at the base hospital at Camp Lewis, 
Washington, where he served until mustered out after the signing of the 
armistice in November, 1918.
        For about a year after leaving the Medical Corps Dr. Rogers practiced 
his profession in Seattle, Washington. He came to Tulare in 1921 and is now 
located at 147 South K street, where his office is well equipped for the 
reception and treatment of patients. He is a member of the Tulare County, 
California State and American Medical Associations. Fraternally he is a member 
of Tulare Lodge No. 1424, Benevolent Protective Order of Elks.
