BOGART, S. W. - City marshal of Searsboro. He was born in Whitehall, New York, July 30, 1837, and resided there until he attained the age of ten years, when he came west with his parents, who located in McHenry county, Illinois, and here the subject of this sketch resided for twenty years. He then moved to Fayette county, Iowa, and engaged in agricultural pursuits, which he followed for eight years, when he embarked in the dyeing business, and operated the same for a few years with a considerable degree of success. Came to Searsboro in July, 1869, where he has since resided. Mr. Bogart is a trustworthy and competent official, and discharges the duties of his office creditably to himself and to the satisfaction of the public.
