Notes |
- Mary Rogness's - Father
I am getting conflicting information as to what his parents names are. He would not talk about his side of the family to my mother. He would get mad and change the subject, every time she brought it up. He would only say he was born in Gold Stone Montana and his mothers name was Rose. I ordered a birth certificate from Montana, and there was not one on file. I also ordered a birth certificate
from Michigan and there was not one there either.He applied for his Social Security Card in Rugby North Dakota on May 25,1954.
On his Social Security SS5 application it says:
He was born Big Rapids Michigan
Father: Robert John Rogness
Mother: Alice McKinzie
DOB 02/15/1927

My mother met my father in 1956 , they went to the First Church of the Nazrene. They were married up until he died in 1963. He left my mother with 3 kids , 2,4, and 6 years old, and 8 months pregnant with a fourth.My youngest brother was born 2 weeks after our dad died.
We drew death benefits from that SS# , so I know it is the correct one. We lived at 1205 S. Riverside Drive, Iowa City Iowa, up until he got to sick to work. Then we
moved to 603 1st avenue, Iowa City Iowa. He was there 2 months then had to be put in a nursing home, until he died. He died the same day as Kennedy was assassinated.
In July 1958 he told my Mom that they were going to move, they loaded up the truck and drove to Caldwell Idaho.
My mother remembers that he cried on the way there.
Taking my oldest brother who was 11 months old , they stayed in a Motel for a week. He left my mother adn brother
in the motel and was gone everyday for 8-10 hours.
I have been told (by my uncle of course), that he bought and sold guns. he also told me this story:
My Dad and my grandfather were in a bar. After my dad
left ,a guy came up to my grandfather and told him "I knew Bob, when he lived in California and had 4 kids.
My uncle also used to ride with my dad in the moving van (American Red Ball), my dad was always looking for a place that had Western Union services. Also , when my father was in the hospital with the brain tumor that killed him, some lady called our house looking for him, several times.
I do not know any of his family. If he has brothers or sisters.Where he went to school.
My father used to write to the Government allot. My uncle was at our house one day when he got a reply from the White house. To a letter he had written, saying "So and So" was worse than Hoffa". My uncle could not remember the
So and so's name.
