    Remarks: 
    The Rogers Memorial honors Eleanor Silliman Rogers and William A. Rogers, and their family. Mr. Rogers was a banker and industrialist in the steel, mining, and shipping business during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century in the Queen City of the Great Lakes. Mrs. Rogers was involved in the management of the 1901 Pan American Exposition in Buffalo. She could trace her family tree to the Mayflower and was a direct descendant of John Alden and Pricilla Mullins. The model for the female figure was the dancer Desha Deltiel (nee Desha Podgorska). The sculpture was originally created in bronze for the Morton Memorial in 1926. Later the sculpture was carved in marble for the Berwind Memorial in Philadelphia's Laurel Hill Cemetery.
