NA Film Number T9-1072 Page Number 268A OLIVER ANDREW VOGENITZ
Had Oliver A. Vogenitz lived until August approaching, he would have spent 75 years, his entire life, in Newcomerstown. Born August 14, 1842 of Andrew Vogenitz and wife, every interest of his long and industrious life was identified with his native town. Fifty-five yeears ago this August, he marched away with his companions in Capt. Salathiel Neighbor's Co. D of the 52d Ohio Infantry, and soon thereafter was a participant in the bloody battle at Perryville. During the following winter, he contracted a virulent case of measles, and was sent tot he military hospital at Nashville.
Believing that he would never again be fitted for military service, the surgeons so notified his relatives here, and at their request the brother Israel went to Nashville and brought the discharged soldier home [in 1863].
. . . From the days of the Civil War until the hour of his death, Mr. Vogenitz was engaged in the business of merchandizing in this city. His long career in business was marked by fidelity to duty, to scrupulous honesty, and to an unswerving and fearless devotion to whatever promised the upbuilding and the civic and moral betterment of the community.
For a long time he had been feeble, but had still attended to his affairs until a few days before the end came. The decline was then rapid unitl Friday last when death ended all. The outpouring of people [at his funeral] demonstrated the esteem in which the deceased was held.
Newcomerstown Index, May 16, 1917. TAPS FOR OLD BAND The death of O. A. Vogenitz has removed the 12th member of Newcomerstown's first "brass band," organized in the spring of 1856, just 61 years ago. The band consisted of its leader, the late I. B. Vogenitz, and 13 associates. Eight of the organization enlisted in the Union army, but at the close the war they again took their positions in the band, and made it one of the finest muscial organizations then in the country. It was this band that played for President Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, when on his way to Washington City to be inaugurated president of the United States. Here is the list, all of whom have passed to the other world except the last two on the roll: Israel B. Vogenitz, Conductor, O. A. Vogenitz, Albert Vogenitz, Frederick Hines, Mr. Cleweel, Uriah Kinner, Jos. S. Lyons, George Lyons, Henry Wolfe, William Baxter, Isaiah Crater, John Wilson, alfred Peck, J. Peck.
