Maggie Rogers

Maggie Rogers
Margaret 'Maggie' Rogers (1874 - 1953), was a maid at the White House who served for 30 years (1909-1939), during the administrations of Taft, Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, and part of FDR's four terms, eventually rising to head housemaid. Her years of service were memorialized in the book 'My Thirty Years Backstairs at the White House' with the help of her daughter, Lillian Rogers Parks (1897 - 1997), who worked as a seamstress, also in the White House. The story was later produced as a TV miniseries in 1979. Maggie Rogers is buried at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery in Suitland, Maryland.
