Dr. John W. N. Vogt
Dr. John W. N. Vogt is the son of Rev. John Vogt, who was one of the most beloved and best known pastors in Delaware for many years. Dr. Vogt was born at Seven Miles, Butler County, Ohio, in 1852. He came to Delaware with the family in 1863, when the father was called to the pastorate of the German Reform Church. He was given a finished education, and afterward became an expert druggist, which profession he followed for many years, when he entered the office of Dr. E. H. Hyatt to read medicine. After graduating at the Columbus Medical College with high honors, he became a partner of his illustrious preceptor in 1876. Two years later he went into an office alone; but after a short time became associated with Dr. John O. McDowell for three years—1880 to 1883, when he opened an office again by himself, and has since continued in practice. Dr. Vogt was and is a great student, both of medical and general literature. He has accumulated one of the largest and finest libraries in the county. There never was a more genial and more honorable member of the profession in the county. His counsel for many years has been sought by his professional brethren throughout the county, and he has always been found to be true to the patient and to his associates. He has been a member of the State and County Medical Societies. For several years he was a member of the Board of U. S. Pension Examiners. He is now in his prime and has many useful years ot labor ahead of him.
