Biographical Note

Richard A. Bogle (originally from the West Indies) arrived in the Oregon Territory in 1851, when he was 16. He moved to California and became a barber working with Nathaniel Berber. Bogle returned to Oregon and opened a barber shop in Roseburg. He married America Waldo in 1863, and they eventually had eight children. Soon after, Richard and America Bogle moved to Walla Walla in the Washington Territory, where Richard Bogle earned his livelihood as a barber. The Bogles also became successful and wealthy ranchers, and were among the founders of the Walla Walla Savings and Loan Association. Two of the Bogle sons moved to Portland, including Arthur Bogle, who had a barber shop in the early 1900s. Descendants of the family include Richard Waldo Bogle, Sr., and his son, Richard Waldo Bogle, Jr., of Portland.
