   THOMAS BOGARD, Trustee of Center Township and a descendant from one of the
first families to settle in what is now Greene County, was born in the county,
where he yet resides, in the year 1823, and is one of two surviving children in
a family of seven born to Cornelius and Jane (Benham) Bogard, who were natives
of Ohio and Virginia respectively. His early years were passed in assisting his
parents on the home farm, but on attaining his twenty-second year commenced
farming for himself, which has since been his occupation. By industry he has
secured a good farm of 200 acres, and also sixteen town lots in the village of
Hobbieville, upon one having erected one of the finest dwellings in the
township. Mr. Bogard was married to Miss Mary O'Neal, his first wife, in 1845,
and one son—William—of the four children born to them, is yet living. He married
Miss Lucinda James, his present wife, in 1862. Mr. Bogard is, as was his father
before him, a Democrat in politics; is a member of the F. & A. M., and both he
and wife belong to the Methodist Episcopal Church.
