Anne Collins interviews Ella Mae Rogers on November 11, 2004 for the Western North Carolina Oral History Project. Born May 23, 1929 in Swain County, Rogers moved to Cullowhee around 1950 after getting married to William Rogers (1924-1980). She talks about growing up in Bryson City, taking the bus from Bryson City to Sylva once she reached high school age, and going to Allen School in Asheville in 1945. She talks about the AME Mount Zion Church and working at Western Carolina University where she was a housekeeper and her husband was a brick layer.
