Notes from Cori Hoag: Vergil's name is listed as Vergil Cecil Hogg on his military records between February 1918 and February 1919 but as Vergil C. Hogge on his marriage certificate dated February 24, 1924. Vergil was in U. S. Navy submarines during WWI. He enlisted as an Apprentice Seaman in Omaha, Nebraska at age 19 years, 3 months on February 23, 1918. His home address at the time of enlistment was Larrabee, Cherokee Co., Iowa. His military pay was $17.60 per month. Vergil attended submarine school at the Naval Training Station at Great Lakes, Illinois. He attained the rank of Seaman Second Class (Sea 2C BNL N6H). His enlistment papers describe him as being single, 5' 6" in height, 129 pounds, and having hazel brown eyes and a ruddy complexion. He was honorably discharged on February 13, 1919.
Vergil's younger sister, Helen Hogge and Irene's youngest brother, Carl Kolp, were witnesses to the marriage performed by Minister Arthur C. Evans. He died in the Walla Walla Hospital in Walla Walla, Washington from kidney failure related to Bright's Disease; his father Greene also died of kidney failure. Buried to the right of his wife Irene Margaret Kolp Hogg Barber.

Elaine Porter Notes: About Vergil's middle name Cecil... The Navy insisted on a middle name. So Cecil it became.
∼
Notes from Glenn Hogg: Vergil changed the spelling of the name Hogge to Hogg somewhere between 1927 and 1931, because he didn't like people calling him HOGGIE. Either James Wesley or Greene changed the pronunciation from HOG to Hogg. All the Kentucky Hoggs say HOG.
While living in South Dakota Vergil got his hand caught in a corn picker. It took four hours to free him because people would come up and take a look and walk away. Gangrene had set in and he overheard the doctors outside his room say he probably would not last the night, so he stayed awake all night to make sure he would. Lucky for me (Glenn) he did as I was not around yet. As a result of all that he lost three fingers on his left hand. Even so, with a stiff little finger and a good thumb he could still milk a cow as fast as those with two good hands.
The dust bowl years caused Vergil to move his family from South Dakota to the West where he found work hauling peas with his truck in Weston, Oregon, where I was born on the kitchen table.
In two years, he had saved enough to buy a 160-acre farm near Stanfield, OR. After his children were old enough to tend the farm, Vergil would do the planting and then spend the summer working on highway construction projects. He was a man of clean habits who did not drink (rarely - had a one bottle if friends showed up,and he handed out straight shots so the bottle lasted a long time) and after retiring from the farm he spent his winters days playing pinochle in the local tavern for spending money. He smoked two cigarettes before breakfast and chewed tobacco the balance of the day. Sorta clean habits.
