Pauline was born in 1910 to Dora Boyd and Athelstan Rogers.
Pauline never married and had no children. She had been raped when she was 16 and suffered mentally all her life from the experience.[1] She lived with the family until her behavior became too difficult for her aging mother to handle. By 1940 she was living in a mental hospital, State Hospital #3, in Nevada, Missouri. She was later transferred to Farmington State Hospital.
She died in 1974 and is buried in Maple Park Cemetery in Aurora, Missouri.
