General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Franklin Vogle

---

He received his education in the public schools of Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and began active life as a printer, learning the trade in the office of the Democrat, edited at that time by Edward J. Keenan, a distinguished lawyer and noted politician. After completing his trade he and a company of others purchased the equipment of Frank Cowan's paper and established, in September, 1875, The Democratic Times, which had an existence of two years, Mr. Vogle being the real, and E. J. Keenan, Esq., the apparent editor, because of the almost continuous illness of the latter during that time. Mr. Vogle became, in 1877, the editor of The Oil Times, owned by James F. Campbell, and published in the active oil field town of Edenburg, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. A year later he became city editor of The Daily Breeze, of Bradford, Pennsylvania, which was afterwards merged into an established paper of that place, The Daily Era, of which journal he was for three years city and managing editor, and was at the same time the representative of the Associated Press for the northern oil region. During that period Mr. Vogle was likewise the special correspondent of that busy petroleum center of several of the leading newspapers of New York and Philadelphia. Mr. Vogle removed to Pittsburgh early in 1882, and was employed on the staff of The Leader of that city, and also did considerable work for several of the morning papers at the same time. He returned to Greensburg in November, 1882, and in company with T. R. Winsheimer purchased The Westmoreland Democrat, which they then edited and published. The Democrat was a live weekly Democratic journal, and circulated largely among the old families of the county, being the second paper founded west of the Allegheny mountains, having been established on May 24, 1709. Mr. Vogle was the author of an interesting and beautifully illustrated history of Greensburg, published by Vogle & Winsheimer in 1899, the centennial anniversary of the incorporation of Greensburg as a borough. Mr. Vogle was elected a director of the Greensburg school district for terms covering a continuous period of ten years, from June, 1890, to June, 1900. He was also chosen and served as president of the school board for several years. At the regular annual meeting of the Pennsylvania State Editorial Association, held at Harrisburg, in January, 1903, Mr. Vogle was honored by election as president of the association for the ensuing year.
