Lewis V. Bogy Biographical Sketch

Lewis V. Bogy, senator, was born at St. Genevieve, Mo., April 9, 1813. At the age of twenty-two he was graduated from the Lexington, Ky., law school, and, after practising for some time in St. Louis, Mo., was elected to the legislature of that state. In 1867 and 1868 he was commissioner of Indian affairs. He was instrumental in developing the mineral resources of the state and in the establishment of the St. Louis and Iron Mountain railroad, of which he was president for two years. In 1873 he was elected to a seat in the United States senate as a Democrat, and remained there until his death, which occurred at St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 20, 1877.
