(Louis Vogt Sr.) was a native of Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, and came to the
United States in 1849, when but seventeen years of age. He received his
education in his native country, and on coming here made his way to Detroit,
Mich., where he learned the trade of harness-making. After working at that for
some time he engaged in the occupation of a butcher, opening a shop at Detroit,
which he carried on until 1854, when he removed to Dubuque, Iowa, which he
believed to be a better field for business. There he opened a fine meat market,
in which he carried on his business until his death, which occurred April 12,
1872, at the age of forty years, while in the prime of a vigorous manhood.
While in Dubuque, in 1858, Mr. Vogt was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Lenz, whose
maiden name was Rothermel.
