Chas. Vogt was born in Berlin, Germany and came to this country when he was eighteen years of age. He stopped first at the German settlement in Illinois and later came on to the Pacific coast landing in California. From there he came on up to Puget sound in company with Messrs. Henspeter, Geischer and Bruns. The party found work in the mills for a year or two and then took up their claims on Birch Bay. They made settlement there thirty-three years ago and have resided ever since on their homesteads. Mr. Vogt was married to Mrs. Amy White nineteen years ago. He leaves a family of wife, three children and three step children. The children are all nearly grown the youngest, Miss Amy, being past fifteen years of age. The funeral services were held this forenoon at the residence, after which the body was placed in the California creek cemetery. Mr. Vogt was one of the best citizens, a kind and loving husband and father and an upright and progressive man. He was universally respected and loved by all who knew him. In the opening up of this new country and the making of a home the part played by this good man is a monument to his memory that is a lasting one for all time. His part has been well done. To the bereaved widow and family the sympathy of all is given.
