Description

Studio portrait of the family of Richard Bogle and America Waldo Bogle. The children are (left to right, back row): Arthur (about 14 years old), Belle (about 9), Warren (about 12), (left to right, front row): Waldo (about 4) and Kate (about 7).
America Waldo Bogle was the daughter of a slave mother and probably one of the Waldo brothers (Missouri businessmen and slave owners who moved to the Oregon Territory). She married Jamaican immigrant Richard Bogle in 1863. He opened a barbershop in Walla Walla, owned a ranch or farm, and was one of the founders of the Walla Walla Building and Loan Association. Five of their eight children lived into adulthood. Three of the sons became barbers in Portland.
The original photograph is in the Benton County Historical Archives.
