There are at least TWO
Cornelius Vogel's in
Whiteside County. One age 44, in
Fulton with wife Katie and family; and one, age 45 with wife Jana in Union
Grove Twp. in the 1900 census. Since you gave the wife as Jana, yours appears to be the one in Union
Grove Twp.
By the way, FOUR of the
Vogel families in the 1900 census had daughters named Jennie...one has to be careful about getting the RIGHT family!
In 1900, in Union
Grove, the family was:
Vogle,
Cornelius M 45 M

Jana F 47 M Wife

DauJosia F 8 S

Earnest M 5 S Don
Innis F 3 S
DauThe family did NOT appear in the 1880 census, so apparently married in Holland where the oldest child was born, and moved to
Whiteside in the 1880-1883 time frame before Jennie was born. Josia may be your Josephine...would need more information to confirm.
