Biography

Frederick Charles Bogart was born February 25, 1843 in Spencer, Tioga County, New York. He was the twin of Charles Frederick Bogart and the son of Isaiah and Roxea (Handy) Bogart. [1]

Along with his father and twin brother, Frederick served during the Civil War. At the age of 19, he enlisted on August 12, 1862, at Spencer, to serve three years in the 109th New York Regiment. He was mustered in as private, in Company I, August 15, 1862. He was promoted Corporal, May 1, 1865. Charles was mustered out with his company, June 4, 1865, at Delaney House, D. C. He took part in the battle of the Wilderness – as well as the taking of Petersburg. [2] [3] [4] [5]

In 1920, Frederick was in San Antonio, Texas. His niece, Bertha E. Hilton, was in his household. [6]

Frederick Bogart died February 12, 1924 in San Antonio, Texas, of Broncho Pneumonia. His death certificate mistakenly says his mother was Roxea Burroughs. His mother was Roxea Handy; his grandmother Handy’s maiden name was Burroughs. [7] His death certificate says he was placed in a vault at Roselawn Cemetery on February 14, 1924. He is buried in Wauseon Union Cemetery, Wauseon, Fulton County, Ohio. [8]

The following biography on his brother also mentions the accomplishments of Frederick. [9]

Charles F. Bogart was educated in the public schools of his native county. At the breaking out of the Civil war he, his father and his twin brother enlisted in the One Hundred and Ninth New York regiment, all three being in the same company. Their regiment was commanded by Col. B. F. Tracy, afterwards Secretary of the Navy, and was a part of the Ninth army corps, commanded by General Burnside. This regiment took an active part in most of the battles after the Wilderness campaign. The father and his twin sons served three years, and all returned without having received an injury. In 1866, Charles and his twin brother, Frederick Charles, attended the Bryant & Stratton commercial college of Toledo, O., where both fitted themselves for an active business life. After graduating from this school they settled in Wauseon, where they for several years were engaged in the marble business, being the first to start such an enterprise there. From Wauseon they removed to Kansas, where for eight years they were engaged in sheep-raising. Selling their sheep ranch, they removed to California, where Charles F. remained for two years. In 1889 he returned to Wauseon, where he is now actively engaged in the real estate and loan business. For the past fifteen years he has handed the money of an Eastern capitalist as loan agent, doing a business of more than two hundred thousand dollars annually, this amount being left in his care for reinvesting. He has operated in Fulton, Henry, Lucas, Williams and Defiance counties. He has displayed such good judgement in placing his loans that he enjoys the full confidence of the capitalist whom he represents. So complete is this confidence that all deeds and abstracts of title to lands on which loans have been made are entrusted to his keeping. Of course this confidence is due to his extraordinary success in all of his business transactions. For two years he served on the council of the city of his abode. That he has prospered in his business is demonstrated by the fact that he with his father and brother erected a fine brick business block on Main street, called the Bogart block, which he now owns, and which, by the way, is one of the finest in Wauseon. Having served his country so patriotically, it follows that he takes an active interest in the Grand Army of the Republic. He and his twin brother own large tracts of land in the oil fields of Texas, where his brother, Frederick Charles, is now residing, and attending to that part of their business. For some years both were interested in a telephone company in Houston, Texas, of which Frederick Charles was vice president and treasurer. Before going to Texas and California Frederick Charles was a resident of Wauseon. The Bogart family were originally Holland Dutch, the original name being Van de Bogart. The two boys, Charles Frederick and Frederick Charles, were promoted from privates to corporals for soldierly conduct in the field.

Can anyone contribute more about Frederick or his family?
