VOGT – on Tuesday night, July 22, 1890, at his residence on the River aux Vases, Roman Vogt died at the age of 56 years, 11 months, and 7 days. Mr. Vogt had for some time been suffering with a bad case of throat disease, which almost prevented him from swallowing solid food. He had contracted the disease during a nine month service in the Federal Army during the late Civil War. He was a member of the J. Felix St. James GAR post of this place and a number of his comrades were present at the funeral, which took place in the River aux Vases cemetery, on Thurs.
Roman Vogt was born July 30, 1833 in Windschlag, Offenburg, Baden, Germany. He was twice married. His first wife being Marie Louisa Gegg whom he married Jan. 28, 1858 in Zell. She was born June 2, 1840, the daughter of Joseph Gegg and Josepha Woerther. Six children are known: Maria Regina, Joseph William, Josephine, Anton, John Emil, and Louise Rosina. Following the death of Louisa, Roman married Albertine Gegg, on January 1, 1877, a sister of his first wife, with whom he had lived 11 years but had no children. A descendant relates that Roman and Albertine were married in a civil ceremony as the Catholic Church would not recognize a marriage between a brother- and sister-in-law. Later a dispensation was granted and the marriage was recognized by the church.
The deceased was an upright Christian and was well respected by all who knew him. May he rest in peace.
