Delbert Linn Rodgers

He was born Sept. 6, 1952, in Nacogodoches, Texas. Linn became a millwright at an early age through experience and worked with International Paper, T.U. Electric, and Fluor Daniels. He later moved to Henryetta where he was the owner and manager of The Oil Pit for 15 years.

He was a father, loved his son and daughters and the “Home Place” in Nacogdoches as well as spending time with his family and friends.
