Biographical history
Edith Blanche Cox, 1894-1985, was born in Upper Stewiacke, Nova Scotia. She came to Alberta in 1913. She was a teacher for several years, then worked as a clerk for the Bank of Montreal, 1918-1923. In 1923, while living in Killam, she married William Wright Rogers. They had no children. They moved to Calgary in 1929 and became involved in the Social Credit movement in the early 1930s. She was elected to the Alberta Legislature as a Social Credit member in 1935, defeating ex-Premier John E. Brownlee in the Ponoka constituency. She sat until her defeat in the 1940 provincial election. She was a school trustee in Edmonton, 1959-1974, and an Edmonton school is named in her honour.
