From the Biographical Record of the Counties of Huron and Lorain, Ohio. Chicago, J.H. Beers & Co. 1894 (pg 283-284)
" Hon. Evert Bogardus was a son of Jacob B. Bogardus, whose father (also named Jacob) was an extensive wholesale merchant and importer, of New York, being a representative of a very wealthy and aristocratic family.
Hon. Evert Bogardus was born September 15, 1813, in Lehman, Luzerne Co., Penn., and, while receiving but a subscription-school education, made the best possible use of every opportunity. When fifteen years old he was apprenticed to a saddler in New York, but not liking the business, he went to Philadelphia. He then determined to secure a more general education, and after spending a short time in Kalamazoo, Mich., he followed bookkeeping in Williamsport, Penn. On November 17, 1840, he was united in marriage with Louisa Atherton, and resided on a farm in Huntsville, Luzerne Co., Penn., for seven years, then located at Wilkes-Barre, same State, where he followed a commission business along the canal. In 1856 he came to Norwalk, Huron Co., Ohio, and in the spring of 1857 entered into partnership with a brother-in-law. He then purchased land in Ridgefield township, Huron county, and devoted his attention for a time to agricultural pursuits. In 1860 he opened a store in North Monroeville, Huron county, which he sold in 1881, and afterward lived in retirement. Evert Bogardus was a Democrat prior to the war, at which time, however, he joined the Republican party, serving in various township and county offices. He represented Huron county for four years in the State Legislature at Columbus, and served six years as county commissioner. In religious faith he and his wife were zealous members of the Congregational Church at North Monroeville, Huron county. They were the parents of two children, William P., a hardware merchant of Mount Vernon, Ohio, and Emma G., deceased wife of H. C. Read. The father died January 26, 1892, and was buried in the North Monroeville cemetery. After his death his widow moved to Mount Vernon, Ohio, where she resides near her son, enjoying the society of many friends. "
