What began as a history of Rogers Hall in our continuation of the story of the destruction of Downtown Modesto has evolved into a family story of two important pioneer families, Rogers and Maze. There would have been no Modesto without the Maze family land, and the story of the Rogers Memorial Fountain has been a historical legend since it was dismantled in 1953. In the past two months, the McHenry Museum & Historical Society has contacted the granddaughters of Joie Maze Bunker. Joie (pronounced “Joey”) was the half-sister of “Little Roy” Rogers, the boy memorialized on the fountain. She was born two years after his death and never met him. However, Joie saved his photographs and artifacts, as well as many other treasures. Since her death in 1976, they have remained hidden. Now, to celebrate Women’s History Month, we share what Joie preserved. This is not only her story, but those of generations of women in the Rogers and Maze families who gave back and left a lasting mark in Modesto:
