Although one of the younger members of his profession Dr. Platt H. Rogers, of West Haven, has already gained recognition as a resourceful and able physician and surgeon and has built up a large practice. He was born in Towners, New York, July,[sic] 1, 1889, a son of Herman S. and Julia A. Rogers. The father followed farming in Towners, New York, until 1893, when he removed to Danbury, Connecticut, where he has since engaged in the same pursuit.

  Platt H. Rogers entered the Yale College of Medicine following his graduation from the Danbury high school and in 1912 received the degree of M. D. He at once located in West Haven, where he has since engaged in the general practice of his profession. His well trained powers of observation have enabled him to profit by his experience and through wide reading he keeps in close touch with other up-to-date and progressive physicians and surgeons. The marked ability which he has displayed in diagnosing and treating disease has commended him to the patronage of the representative people of West Haven.

  In 1911 Dr. Rogers was united in marriage to Miss Pearl M. Sparks, of New York, who is a talented singer and has received a thorough musical education. To this union has been born a daughter, Joyce Nell.

  The Doctor endorses the principles of the republican party but has never had time to give to political or civic affairs. However, he is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and fraternally is connected with the Odd Fellows and the Red Men. In religious faith he is a Baptist, which indicates the principles that govern his life. Along strictly professional lines he is identified with the New Haven County and the Connecticut State Medical Societies and the American Medical Association. He has before him the promise of an unusually successful career.
