October 1871 CE

Henry Huttleston Rogers, while working with Charles Pratt, invents an improved way of separating naphtha, a light oil similar to kerosene, from crude oil.

He is granted U.S. Patent # 120,539 on October 31, 1871.

In the past few years, Rogers has become, in the words of Elbert Hubbard, Pratt's "hands and feet and eyes and ears" (Little Journeys to the Homes, 1909)

As their family grows, Henry and Abbie continue to live in New York City, but vacation frequently at Fairhaven.
