In the year 1872 in a little
log school house Thompson Bogan and wife became members of the United
Brethren church. Faithfully they lived and faithfully they served
their Lord and master. The Golden Ruse was the beautiful motto of
their lives. They ever lived the Christ compassion toward their
fellow man. This good old couple will long be remembered by all
those who have felt the touch of their pure and upright lives.
