Biography

Bogie was born in 1860 as the second child of Embry and Dan Bogie [1]. She had one older brother, Dan Bogie [2], born in 1858. As a child, she lived with her brother and parents in a one-room cabin on the Bogie property, a 200-acre piece of land east of Garrard County, Kentucky. She shared a corded trundle bed with her brother that rolled under their parent's bed of a similar make. She wore linsey clothes in the winter that would be dyed various colors using herbs. Pokeberry was often used for this, probably for its ability to dye cloth reddish colors from a deep maroon to a lighter mauve pink. In the summer, she wore cotton dyed with yellow mustard seeds. It is not known how long she lived. All that is known is that she died before 1941 (the year her brother was interviewed) when she would have been 81 years old. She is buried somewhere near Lancaster, Kentucky.
