Calista was a member of the Church of the Brethern (as was Archibald Van Dyke) and taught Sunday School at one point.
Calista and Archibald (AKA Archie) Van Dyke were married December 25, 1901, the license was issued in
La Porte County, Indiana December 23, 1901.
Calista was born in Randolph, Portage County, OH. Daughter of William Rogers and Minerva Goss.
Through her father, she was a descendant of Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower. Calista’s first husband, also listed on your site,
Richard Cross, was born in Randolph, Portage County, OH. Son of Mercy Rogers and Jesse Cross.
According to a great granddaughter of Elcista Minerva Cross (a daughter of Calista and Richard, listed on your site),
Janice Castro, reports that Calista Rogers’ father and Richard Cross’ mother were brother and sister,
so Calista and Richard were first cousins. Calista and Richard could both hear, but all of the living children were deaf.
It has been speculated that they carried a deafness gene called GJB2, which is a recessive genetic disorder.
Elcista, Olive, Jasper, Barnum, and Jesse C Cross were all enrolled in the Indiana School for the Deaf.
The sons, Jasper, Barnum, and Jesse all married deaf women. Archibald and Calista remained married but lived separately
(with children) in their final years, reasons are unknown.Anyone wishing to donate burial or family tree information about families in this or any LaPorte County cemetery,
