| Gottlob Vogg, farmer, sec. 18, Deerfield Township, was born in Germany 1834. He is a son of Christian Vogg and both his parents were of German birth. He left the “Fatherland “ for the United States in 1854 and stopped in New York (where he landed) two years. In 1856 he went to Massachusetts and there remained 12 years, moving in 1868 to Kalamazoo Co., Mich., and after a stay of two and one-half years came to this county. He soon after purchased 80 acres of land, in an uncultivated condition. His industry, thrift and perseverance have ever been manifested and his present circumstances are a significant of what a man may do under the free institutions of this country. Sixty-five acres of his land are in first-class condition, and he is enjoying all the rewards he has so justly earned. The subject of this sketch was married in 1858, in the state of New York, to Friederika Krieger, a native of Germany. They have eight children, six of whom are living: Friederika C., Geo.W., Henry C., Otto, Caroline, and Flora. Louisa and Paulina died in infancy. Mr. Vogg, is a member of the Lutheran Church and acts with the Republican party. |
