[HCM p737]: John Bogue, one of the old and much esteemed citizens of the county, and a prominent farmer of Westminster Township, was born in Scotland, November 27, 1800, and is a descendant of one of the old and sterling Scotch families who have done so much to clear up the country and make presentable the pleasant homes of to-day. He was a gardener by trade, and in 1820 went to England, where six years later he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Parrot. This union resulted in the birth of eight children, who grew to maturity: - John, Allen, James, Thomas, David, Richard, Ann, and Emma. In 1837, Mr. Bogue immigrated to Canada and settled on a farm of 120 acres on the 1st Concession, Lot --. Mr. Bogue cleared his farm with his own hands, and was a hard-working man. He is held in high esteem by all who know him; is in very comfortable circumstances, and is now enjoying the fruits of his labor. He is a member of the Baptist Church, of which his wife, who died in 1886, was also a member. Mr. Bogue is now in his 89th year, and his memory is still good. His son, Allen Bogue, was born in England in 1832, and wasw about five years of age when he was brought to this country by his parents. He received a good practical education in the common schools, and in early life learned the occupation of farming. He is well respected by the people of the township, and has been in the Township Council. He is president of the poultry Association, and a member of the Western Fair Board. He has always taken an active interest in school and educational affairs and holds the office of trustee.
