TEXAS LEGISLATURE
Speech made after he died in the Texas House of Representatives.
In the House. Mr. Lewellyn said: Mr. Speaker: ------ I arise for the purpose of announcing the death of the Hon. Sam Bogart, of Collin county, formerly a member of this Legislature. I but express the sentiments and feelings of those who have known him longest and known him best, when I proclaim that a patriot has fallen, --a statesman has gone to his long home; and the associations of the hearthstone and the domestic circle have been visited by the fatal messenger of our race---DEATH. Major Sam Bogart was born in Carter county, Tennessee, April 2nd, 1797.--His parents emigrated to Blount county when he was very young, where they both died, leaving him without means and among strangers. When the war broke out in 1812, he was about 15 years of age. Actuated by a patriotic spirit, he enlisted in the United States army, in Capt. Wm. McLeland's company. 7th Infantry, in 1813, and served during the war. He married in 1818. The same year he emigrated to the state of Illinois, where he served as Major in the Black Hawk war in 1832, in 1833, he emigrated to Missouri, and took an active part in expelling the Mormons from that State. In 1839, he emigrated to Texas, and settled in Washington county. In 1842, when Gen. Woll invaded Texas and sacked Bexar, he commanded a company from Washington county, in the Summerville campaign, and was among the first that crossed the Cuerrera. He emigrated to the northern part of Texas in 1845. In 1847, was elected to represent Fannin county in the Legislature of the State, was again elected in 1849, and in 1850 to represent Collin, Grayson and Denton counties. In 1851, he was elected State Senator from the District composed of the counties of Collin, Grayson, Denton and Dallas; and while engaged in his senatorial duties, was the active and untiring friend of the Colonist; and was chiefly instrumental in bringing about the passage of those laws, which resulted in securing to the Colonists of Peters' Colony, the peaceful enjoyment of their lands and fire sides. In 1859, he was again returned to the Legislature from Collin county by an overwhelming majority. On the ____ day of ___, A.D. 1861, he resigned his position as a member of the Legislature on account of ill health; and on the 11th day of March, A.D. 1861, he departed this life in the 63rd year of his age. One by one, the stars of our revolution are going out; one by one, the great lights of our country are being extinguished. It is but a poor eulogy upon the departed dead, in times of revolution like ours, to say they have filled high positions in life; but to any they have filled those positions with honorwith integrity, is the highest eulogy that can be passed: This may be said of Maj. Bogart; for whether in the tented field with his bosom barred to the battle's storm, in the council chambers of the Legislature, or around the social circle, the same high tone of moral worth, the same deep devotion to principle and to virtue characterized him. But he sleeps the last long sleep of death, and around his memory gathers a thousand endearing and hallowed association, which will live fresh and green in the recollection of those who knew him best and longest; and the last proud act of his life which was full of honors and of years, and the last and proudest act of that life was an expression of the deep devotion he entertained for the land of his fathers, the Government of his sires, the perpetuity of free republican institutions. After the adoption of suitable resolutions the House, in respect for the deceased, unanimously adjourned.(Carter County Biographies- Samuel A. Bogart.)
As a legislator signed in 1861 the Texas Article of Succession.
Samuel A. Bogart died in Collin County, Texas and is buried in an unmarked grave.
