Another quilt?


CHARLES VOGEL

Charles Vogel was born in Krakow, Poland in December 1867. According to the 1900 & 1910 USA censuses, he came to the United States in 1883 or 1884. He married Sarah Sonnenschein, who was born in Austria in April of 1867. She immigrated to the USA in 1886 or 1889. They had been married seven years at the time of the 1900 census which indicates a marriage year of 1893. Their children were: Louis Moses (1891-1975), Mary M (1892-1960), Hugo Robert (1894-1969), Arnold Aaron (1898-1983), Jacob W (Jack) (Jake) (b 1902), Rebecca Rose (b 1904) and Bertha (b 1906). All of the children except Bertha were born in Illinois. She was born in North Dakota and at the time of the 1910 USA census, the family was living in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

Although the family was listed in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Henderson City Directories as early as 1912, they could not be found in the 1916 census. At the time of the 1921 census, the family was living at 431 Ave D. Charles ran Vogel's Ltd with his son-in-law Mike Davidiner which was a home furnishing and furrier business. Charles was listed as a fur cutter in some census records. A 1924 border crossing record indicated that Charles and Sarah were then living in Toronto. Nothing more could be found about this family.

This family tree can be found on Ancestry under the title 3rd Ave Vogl Tree.

C10

We could not find a unique candidate for the C J Vogl signature, but we did find two likely candidates. If the embroider missed the cross on the t, the signer may have been Cornelius J Vogt who was recorded in Saskatoon Henderson directories from 1917 to 1921 and who was enumerated in the 1921 census in Saskatoon. If someone wrote the name for Charles Vogel, they may have misspelled it. As people were writing on cloth, perhaps they did not often do corrections, even if they noticed a mistake. Similarly, Charles was present in Henderson Directory listings from 1912 and was also enumerated in the Saskatoon 1921 census. The other problem with the Charles Vogel candidate is that there was never an initial J associated with his name in any documents found.
