WILLIAM O. HOGUE, M. D.

   Dr. William O. Hogue was born in Fayette county, Pennsylvania, August 18,
1821, and is the third child of William and Lucy Hogue. His father was born in
Frederick county, Virginia, June 10, 1793, married Lucy Price at Uniontown,
Pennsylvania, August 16, 1816, and came to Bartholomew county, Indiana, in 1836,
moving here from the town of Madison, in which place he settled with his family
as early as 1830. He died in the year 1849. The mother departed this life in
1848. The youth and early manhood of Dr. Hogue were spent upon a farm, and his
first school experience embraced the studies appertaining to the educational
course prescribed by the usages of those days. He early determined to prepare
himself for the medical profession, and upon attaining his majority entered upon
the study of the same with Dr. E. W. Van Wye, under whose instructions he
continued for a period of three years, beginning the practice at the end of that
time at the village of Elizabethtown. After four years' successful practice he
abandoned the profession and engaged in the mercantile business, which he
carried on about three years, and then opened a drug store in the city of
Columbus, a branch of trade with which he remained identified from 1855 to 1885.
In September, 1887, he became a member of the manufacturing firm known as the
Columbus Machine and Supply Company. Dr. Hogue was a wide-awake, energetic man,
fully alive to the interests of his various business enterprises and the general
prosperity of the community. In his religious views he was a Presbyterian,
having identified himself with that branch of the church as early as 1847. He
was active in all church work, and upon the temperance question was a firm
believer in total abstinence, which he fearlessly advocated for a number of
years. Politically he voted with the Republican party, and though not a partisan
in the sense of seeking official position, he had decided views upon all the
leading questions of the day, which he had no hesitancy in giving publicly. He
was one of the charter members of the First National Bank of Columbus, and a
director of the same from its organization. The Doctor was twice married, the
first time, in Madison, Indiana, November 28, 1848, to Miss Janett Craig, who
was born in Scotland on the 24th of June, 1820. Mrs. Hogue died July 1, 1850.
His second marriage was solemnized at Cincinnati, Ohio, February 19, 1852, with
Miss Emma Martin, whose birth occurred at Cheviot, Ohio, on the 2nd day of
August, 1830. The children of this marriage are: Frank O., born February 15,
1853, and Emma, born February 21, 1855.
