   MOSES H. BOGAR, who is one of the self-made men of Collinwood township, lives on
section 2. He is a son of Thomas H. Bogar, who is mentioned at length elsewhere in
this volume, to whose sketch the reader is also referred for much of the personal
history of the gentleman whoso name heads this article.

  Moses H. Bogar was born in Tazewell county, Va., November 28, 1842. When about
seven years of age he removed with his parents to Pike county, Ky., where he was
reared to agricultural pursuits. At the breaking out of the civil war, he enlisted,
October 25, 1861, in Company H, Fourteenth Kentucky U. S. Infantry, and went into
active service, participating in the battles of Ganley, Middle Creek, and Half
Mountain, Kentucky; Hagar Gap, Koeler Pole, Virginia; and Tazewell, Tenn., Altoona,
Cupp's Farm, and Atlanta, Ga., Jonesboro, and various other battles of the campaign.
He served successively under the following generals: Nelson, Garfield, White, Beard,
Morgan, Cooper, Haskel, Schofield, Sherman, and, lastly, Thomas.

   Our subject came to Minnesota with his father in 1866, and settled on section 2,
Collinwood. On the 1st of March, 1869, he was married to Mrs. Mary C. (Graves)
Livingston. She died in May, 1882, leaving six children, as follows—Lizzie May, born
February 18, 1870; Edward G., born July 18,1871; Cynthia C., born September 9, 1873;
Joseph O., born February 28, 1876 ; Moses H., born February 2, 1878; and John P.,
born February 1, 1880.

   On the 13th of December, 1883, Mr. Bogar married Caroline, a daughter of Volney
and Lura (Farrington) Gay, who was born July 21, 1857. This marriage has been
blessed with two children — Geneva Blanche and Ruth Lillian.

   Mr. Bogar's house was destroyed by fire, with most of its contents, April 1,
1888. In political matters our subject is an opponent of monopoly and is a
prohibitionist. He has held several local offices with honor.
