Visiting Chicago for private instruction and hospital practice, he finally 
graduated at the U. V. M. in 1886. He first pursued his profession at 
Monkton [Addison County, Vermont], but soon removed to Bristol, where he has 
met with much success.

BOGUE was married to Ida M., daughter of Abner and Clorinda (STOCK) MILES.
