Joseph: email from Nancy Johnston Marinos - Feb 2010
Joseph Goodwin Rogers was my great grandfather. He opened Longcliff Mental Hospital in Logansport. My grandmother, her sister and her twin brothers grew up there. There are some stories that my great Aunt Mary wandered into one of the wards and let all the patients out for a stroll.
I don't think he ever lived in Indianapolis but he did open Longcliff in Logansport.

DR. JOSEPH GOODWIN ROGERS.
Joseph Goodwin Rogers was born in Madison, Ind., November 23, 1841, the son of Dr. Joseph H. D. and Abby Goodwin Lane Rogers. His father was a giant in stature and of great force of character as befitted a pioneer physician in Indiana and Kentucky at an early day. His mother was a gentlewoman of refined and cultivated tastes. From his father he inherited a sturdy, forceful and strong character; from his mother refined tastes, high ideals and an artistic temperament. His education was largely derived from his mother, as at the early age of eight he suffered from Pott's Disease and for many years was confined to his bed. He became a diligent student and an omnivorous reader of good books and was self-taught to a remarkable degree. At the age of 18 he began to study medicine under his father's direction, later at the Cincinnati College of Medicine, and Bellevue Hospital Medical
College, New York, receiving from the latter the degree of M. D. in 1864. He served as a surgeon in a military hospital until the close of the Civil War, and then went abroad for two years of travel and study. He fitted himself to practice as an ophthalmologist, and upon his return entered upon a successful career at Madison, Ind.
In 1879 he was offered the superintendency of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane at Indianapolis, which he accepted as a duty to the public after much hesitation and at great personal sacrifice. For four years he devoted himself to the reorganization and development of the hospital and freed it from political and partisan interference. He proved to be too much in advance of public opinion and preferred to retire with honor rather than to sacrifice high ideals of right and duty.
His special fitness for hospital management, however, had been proved and in 1883 he was selected by the Governor and a newly appointed commission to be medical engineer for the erection of three hospitals for the insane. He entered upon his duties with enthusiasm and energy and at the end of five years had planned and erected the Northern Hospital at Logansport, the Eastern Hospital at Richmond and the Southern Hospital at Evansville, three modern hospitals, fully abreast of the most advanced ideas of hospital construction. Singularly enough, they were exponents of three distinct hospital types, the pavilion, the cottage and the radiate plans respectively, and stand to-day as monuments of his ability and versatility.
When he had completed his labors as medical engineer he was offered the choice of the superintendency of whichever one of the hospitals he might prefer. He chose the hospital at Logansport, and from May, 1888, until the day of his death continued in medical charge of it. Under his skilled direction the Northern Hospital, in physical economy, humane methods and medical care, reached the highest development.
Amid his varied duties and lines of activity, he remained essentially a physician whose professional attainments were of a high order and he kept abreast of the progress of general medicine and psychiatry.
His writings include a long list of reports, state papers, and monographs, all of which were carefully prepared.
In 1885 he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Hanover College. In 1900 he was president of the American Medico-Psychological Association at the Richmond meeting and delivered an illuminating address on ' Hospital Construction.' For four years he filled the chair of materia medica and therapeutics at the Indiana Medical College at Indianapolis.
In June, 1872, he married Margaret Watson, of Bedford, Pa., who, with three daughters and two sons, survives him. His home life was perfect and in it as husband and parent he found the greatest happiness of his life.
He died April 11, 1908, of chronic nephritis, after a long illness at the Northern Indiana Hospital, Logansport.

DR. JOSEPH G. ROGERS
WELL KNOWN FORMER RESIDENT OF THIS CITY
Dr. Joseph G. Rogers died at Long Cliff, near Logansport last night. He will be buried there Monday next. Dr. Roger s death was sudden and unexpected. He has suffered from kidney disease for several years, but was thought to be much improved recently. A specialist spent a couple of days with him lately and said there was no immediate danger. Dr. Rogers was born in Madison in 1841. He was the eldest son of Dr. Joseph H. D. Rogers, a distinguished physician and surgeon of his time. Dr. Joe as the younger physician was familiarly known in Madison, finished his education in Paris, France, and was an accomplished scholar, scientist and machinist as well as a physician and surgeon. His practice in Madison was large and remunerative. In 1877 Dr. Rogers was placed in charge of the Central Hospital for the Insane. Later he became the superintendent of construction of the great hospital at Long Cliff, and, upon its completion, the superintendent in charge. His executive and mechanical ability, combined with his knowledge of medicine, and superior mental ability, made Dr. Rogers signally successful in his difficult and delicate work. He was an authority in all questions relating to the insane and the management of hospitals. Dr. Rogers was married in 1873 in Bedford, Penn., to Miss Margaret Watson. The surviving children are Mrs. Maurice Winfield, Jr., of Logansport; Dr. Clark Rogers, of French Lick; Dr. Lynn Roger, of Michigan; Mrs. H. B. Stewart, of Logansport, and Miss Margaret Roger, of Long Cliff. Fortunately Mrs. Roger s sisters, from Bedford, happen to be with her. Dr. Rogers was the oldest of the older Rogers brothers, of this city, and Mr. William G. Rogers and Mrs. Howard Graham will leave tomorrow to attend the funeral.
