Note: James JAMES GILLIAM BOGARD, County Attorney of Pinal, was born in Tennessee, July 29, 1849. His parents, W. J. and Abigail Ezell Bogard, were prominent in the early development of the South. His father was a Captain in the Confederate army, and two of his mother's brothers were veterans of the Southern Confederacy. Mr. Bogard was a member of the Home Guards of Tennessee during the Civil War, being too young at the time to join in the active campaign for the preservation of the South. He is a member of the Masonic order and takes an active interest in its affairs. Mr. Bogard is a typically self-made man, and self-educated, never having had more than one year in school. He taught school three years in Texas, and studied law in the meantime. He was admitted to the bar in 1886, in Texas, at Mangum, on ground which was later awarded to Oklahoma. After the Territory was taken over by the new State he was made a Probate Judge. He afterwards returned to Texas from Oklahoma, and there he was elected Attorney of Star County, and at the expiration of his first term was re-elected by a large majority. He was forced to resign that position owing to his wife's health, which was the reason for their coming to Arizona. During his residence here Mr. Bogard has established a large practice, and since assuming his duties as County Attorney has shown such ability as a prosecutor that the voters of Pinal County are well satisfied with the results obtained. He was married October 2, 1873, to Miss Molly J. Winkler, who has since died. To the union were born two children, Clifton and Lora Inez, the latter having become Mrs. Williamson.
