Besides the grocery business he was Postmaster for twenty years. The firm also maintained a large trade in lumber and coal.

Mr. Bogert has been selected by his fellow-townsmen at various times to represent their interests in official capacities. He was Freeholder for six years, during a part of which time he was Director of the county board. He also filled the office of Collector for Washington Township, and in 1899 was elected the first Mayor of Westwood. In conjunction with Richard Hopper, Abram B. Bogert, and others he organized the Reformed Church at Westwood in 1887, and has filled the office of Elder since that time. Mr. Bogert is a member of the Grand Army, but aside from this his relations in life are domestic. He is public spirited, and through his kindly aid the village has received great help. In 1894 he generously donated for public use two acres of valuable ground in the center of the borough for a park, in which are twenty-seven sugar trees of his own planting.
