WILLIAM POGUE.  This gentleman was born in Fairbanks Town-
ship, Sullivan Co., Ind., December 17, 1821.  He is the second son
in a family of nine children born to James and E. (Thomas) Pogue,
natives of Kentucky and Ohio respectively.  James Pogue came with
his mother to Knox County, Ind., in 1815, and after a residence
there of two years moved to Sullivan County, where James was
brought up on a farm, receiving but a limited education.  He was a
man of much more than ordinary ability and natural powers of
mind, and was well and favorably known to the early settlers of
Sullivan and adjoining counties.  William Pogue was brought up
as most farmer's boys--working upon the farm, and attending
school a few weeks during the winter season.  Soon after attaining
his majority he was united in marriage with Miss Julia Ann,
daughter of James D. and Eleanor Piety.  This occurred March
30, 1843.  From this union there are three children--Riley, born
March 24, 1845;  George W., March 24, 1848, and Eliza,
April 24, 1850.  Riley married Miss Lizzie Denny, and Eliza,
Mr. Peter S. Kester;  George W. died February 6, 1870.
Mr. Pogue is a Republican in politics, and he and wife are
prominent members of the church of Christ.  They are reading
and well-informed people, and have the confidence and respect
of all who know them.
