           [380-383]

           FRANK X. VOGL, farmer, section 32, Sherman Township, was born
        Aug. 21, 1849, in Bavaria.  His parents emigrated to Ontario, Can.,
        in 1856, and to Michigan in 1860.  His father was a stone mason by
        trade, and died in Sherman Township, Feb. 5, 1879.  His mother is
        living with a son in this township, and is 75 years of age, 1884.
           MR. VOGL was a child of six years when he was brought to the
        American continent by his parents, and was ten years of age when
        they became residents of Huron County. He was an inmate of the
        paternal home until 1876, when he was married, in Sanilac Township,
        in the county of the same name, on the 27th day of June, to SUSANNA
        M. SMITH. They have been the parents of five children, one of whom,
        HUBERT, is not living. Those who survive are named JOSEPH F.,
        GEORGE C., JOHN A. and DANIEL T. The family also includes an
        adopted daughter, MARY L.  MRS. VOGL was born June 14,1856, in
        Huron County, Ont. Her father, JACOB SMITH, was born in Germany, of
        Prussian parentage. Her mother, CHRISTINE (McGINNIS) SMITH, is a
        native of Ontario. They are now farmers in Bridgehampton Township,
        Sanilac Co., Mich., whither they removed in 1866.
           In the same year of his marriage, MR. VOGL became the proprietor
        of 140 acres of land by deed of gift from his father, of which 100
        acres is still in his possession. Nearly the entire tract is under
        cultivation. The place is enhanced in value and improved in appear-
        ance by several splendid barns and an elegant residence which has
        just been completed, at a cost of $2,000.  MR. VOGL is a practical
        and skillful farmer and stock-raiser, and is engaged, as a special-
        ty, in raising Durham cattle.
           MR. VOGL is a Democrat in political views and connections.  He
        has been Justice of the Peace eight years and a member of the Town-
        ship Board nine years.
           The family are Roman Catholics.
