Have not been able to find an Ogle that is in the correct time frame to be this person at the Lower Neely Cem. However, in the Andrew Co 1860 census, there is a Henry Ogle, b. 1835 OH and wife Jane, b 1835 IN. There was also a son Dennis, b 1857 MO.
Henry is living at Whitesville, Andrew Co in 1870, with a new wife, Mary P., b 1842 IL, Aaron D., b 1857 MO, and Anna, b 1869 MO. Jane must have died about 1866.
