This set of books has several variations in Volume 3. Please help us determine if there are more than we've found. To do this, I've prepared web pages with the index from the various versions combined and identifying which version that they are in by using the microfilm number from the Kansas State Historical Society files. If you have a version that includes a name not listed, please contact Margaret Knecht MKnecht@kshs.org at the Kansas State Historical Society, or myself, Carolyn Ward tcward@columbus-ks.com

Langdon B. Hogle, the popular probate judge of Osage county, was born in Iroquois county, Illinois, July 7, 1870, son of T. D. and Elsie (Tidd) Hogle. As a young man his father worked for a construction company in Ohio, but located in Illinois at an early day. In 1882 he came to Kansas, took up land and became a farmer. Langdon B. was a boy of twelve when his parents came to this state and he was educated in the country schools. To obtain an education in the early '80s in Kansas a boy had to be ambitious and industrious, for the country was not well settled up at that period. During his boyhood Mr. Hogle helped his father on the farm, but after attaining his majority started out in life for himself and bought a farm, which he conducted with marked success. All his life he has been interested in the questions of the day, as well as in state and national politics. He is thoroughly progressive and a leader in local affairs, in 1907 he moved to Lyndon, took active part in the life of the town, and the same year was elected probate judge of the county. Mr. Hogle is a delightful acquaintance and is very popular throughout the county. He is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and his church affiliations are with the Methodist church.

Mr. Hogle married Sadie Beverly of Burlingame, and two children—a boy and a girl—have been born of this union. Mrs. Hogle's father responded to the call for volunteers at the outbreak of the Civil war and served until honorably discharged. He still lives at Burlingame.
