General Notes: Husband - Augustus Vogle

---

He was born in the city of Darmstadt, Germany, and was educated in the military institutions of that country. Shortly after his graduation he was placed in command of the military post at Mayence, on the Rhine, a strongly fortified station of much importance on the border between France and Germany. He held the rank of captain, and had flattering prospects of high advancement, but owing to some differences with his superior officers, and being a firm believer in the Republican form of government, he resigned his position and came to the United States in 1839, being then twenty-four years of age. Coming to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, almost directly, he engaged in the tanning business at Greensburg, and soon invented a process which so facilitated the art of tanning that results formerly requiring nine months were attained in one-fifth of that time. His new process was adopted widely throughout the country, and the art of tanning was practically revolutionized. He was successfully engaged in the tanning business until his sudden death, which resulted from drinking ice water while heated by work.
He was a man of literary taste and ability, and left behind him a number of sketches and short poems, some of which gave evidence of much merit. He was one of the founders of Odd Fellowship at Greensburg, having organized the first lodge of that place. Decided in his convictions, strong and impulsive in disposition, upright in character and bright in intellect, he was a man whose influence for good was felt, and whose impress was necessarily left on his generation. He was a typical blue-eyed German, a pronounced Democrat, and an active member of the Lutheran church. [GPHAV, 823]
