Biographical history
Jonathan Rogers, born in Wales in 1864, came to Vancouver in 1887 and became a prominent contractor and builder. He led an active civic life, serving two terms as alderman on City Council, two terms as president of the Board of Trade and some 25 years on the Parks Board. He passed away in 1945. His wife, Elisabeth, was also born in Wales and she came to Vancouver in 1902. She quickly became active in many philanthropic activities, including hospitals, museums and war relief. She served as presiding officer in the Women's Canadian Club, the Political Equity League, the French Red Cross, the Citizen's War Fund and the Belgian Relief Fund Committee. She passed away in 1960.
