lowing report:
Mr. Bogart was born at Belair near Tallahss
see, Fla, on the 14th day of October, 1851, but
was reared and educated in this city, where he
died on the 18th day of December, 1887, just when
all his manly strength and virtues seemed at
their best

an earnest aud active temperament and with
cheerful and buoyant spirits, he had reason to

through life or exemplary habits failed to
