Harold Bogen, 38 years of age and the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bogen,
died in a hospital at Rockford, Illinois, last week Wednesday from a bullet
wound inflected Tuesday night by a man from Beloit, Wis., who was attempting
to rob the office of the Western Union where Mr. Bogen was employed. He was

company to the Mexican border where they were on duty for some time. He
enlisted in the World War and saw service in Siberia, as well as the
Philippines, Japan and China. While on duty in Siberia, he was wounded and
later returned to the United States. About 10 years ago he located at
Rockford where he has since resided.

Mr. Bogen is survived by his widow and two sons; his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Joe Bogen, of Hinton; two brothers, Donald, of Hinton, and Alfred of
Detroit, Mich.; two sisters, Dorothy Bogen, of Hinton, and Gertrude Bogen of
