   JOSHUA M. OGDEN, farmer and stock-raiser, was born in Columbiana County,
Ohio, in 1839, and is a son of Benjamin B., a widely-known physician of Ohio,
and Mary A. (Malin) Ogden. While a young man, Joshua M. was engaged in
book-keeping and clerking, but in 1861 he came to Greene County, Ind., and in
1862 enlisted as a private in Company A, Ninety-Seventh Indiana Volunteer
Infantry. After serving about six months, he was commissioned Second Lieutenant,
from that to First Lieutenant, and ultimately promoted to the Captaincy of his
company. Capt. Ogden was a brave and efficient soldier, serving faithfully until
the close of the rebellion. Since then, he has been engaged in agricultural
pursuits, and at present owns 320 acres of fine farming and grazing land. He is
a member of the Masonic brotherhood, a Republican, and was married to Miss
Rebecca J. Blackmore in 1866, who died leaving three children—George B., Dawson
B. and Benjamin M. His second wife was Miss Margaret Ledgerwood, to their union
being born Mary, Grace and Nathaniel Ogden.
