Originally published in 1900 |
|
JOHN BOGERT (This sketch is of the same person already mentioned, in which the middle initial "M" was erroneously used) was born April 6, 1839, in Closter, Bergen County, N.
J., where he still resides. He is the son of Matthew S. Bogert and Margaret
Christie and a grandson of Seba Bogert and David and Maria (Wanamaker)
Christie. His paternal grandmother was a Blackledge. His father
served as a private in the War of 1812, and his grandfather, David Christie,
was for a number of years Judge and Surrogate of Bergen County. All of
these families are noticed at length on other pages of this work.
Mr. Bogert received his education in Bergen County. He left school at the age of sixteen and began his career on his father's farm, where he remained two years. He then went to New York and engaged in the trucking business, continuing for six years. At the end of that period he returned to the homestead and followed agricultural pursuits for about four years, when his father sold the farm. He then engaged in business as a dealer in horses. During his entire life Mr. Bogert has taken an active interest in local affairs and in various capacities has rendered efficient service to the community. He is a Commissioner of Appeals, and a public spirited and progressive citizen. He married Jane Bogert and has four children: David C., Morton, Mabel, and Elmer.
