HISTORY OF WILLIAM FOGG
By James Virgil Fogg
William’s mother and father separated when he was very young. She passed away when he was ten years old. He then went. to live with his father and step-mother. He stayed with them until he was sixteen. He could not get along with his step-mother, so he left home. He spent some time with his older brother, James, and then went to live with an old lady at Poplar. Idaho. Mrs. Stauffer, who had what they called a road house or a place for travelers to stay over night. Dad loved to stay with Mother Stauffer. She treated him like a son. He was told he had a home there as long as he wanted to stay. I remember her very well. I stayed at her place many times, when I was a boy. Dad was taught the sawmill business by his father, and later became sawyer for his brother James. He spent several years at this trade.
When I was about nine years old, he traded a team of horses and a new wagon for 320 acres of land at Antelope, Idaho, where we sent ten wonderful years. The next ten years was spent on a dry farm, where we lived in the winter time and attended school. Dad was kind and freehearted. Mother said that one time, when he and a friend were in the timber after wood, the weather became very cold. His friend did not have a coat and Dad v near him for fourteen years. We spent many hours together. I drove a truck for the Railroad and many times he would go with me on my trips to Los Angeles. He loved to ride and see the country.
