Edward Dick "Edwin" Ogle was born on Oct. 10, 1880 or 1883 in Alverton, Westmoreland Counry or Pennsville, Fayette County, PA the son of William D. and Sarah (Minerd) Ogle. 

Born under the name Edwin, he used the more common "Edward" during his lifetime. He was of medium height and stout build, with black hair and black eyes.

Edward married Carrie Clark (1883-1956), the daughter of Rufus and Amanda "Mana" (McMannis) Clark, and a resident of Hawkeye, Westmoreland County, PA. The wedding took place on Nov. 12, 1902, in Uniontown, by the hand of Rev. John N. Dawson. Edward was age 19 at the time, and Caroline was 18, although they later stated that his age was 15 and hers' 14. 

A notice about their marriage license was published in the Connellsville (PA) Daily Courier. On her marriage license application, unable to write her own name, Caroline signed with an "X."

The Ogles produced a brood of at least four children -- Edward W. Ogle, Evelyn Tomko, Dolores M. "Dolly" Eichelberger and Betty G. McCafferty. 

Edward earned a living for decades as a blacksmith, assuring consistent work in an era when the coal, coke and steel industries were booming in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Carrie made news in September 1908 in a court case involving her brother James Clark, who was accused of "stealing valuable cattle from the farm of Judge Work in Franklin township," reported the Daily Courier. After the brother was found guilty, Carrie also was convicted of perjury when she lied on the witness stand. However, the jury recommended "extreme mercy" on her for her act of defending her sibling. She only had to  pay court costs, and was otherwise not punished.

In 1910, when the federal census was taken, the Ogles made their home on County Road in Pitcairn, Patton Township, Allegheny County, about 14 miles east of Pittsburgh, PA. That year, Edward was employed in the Pennsylvania Railroad shops. 

With the United States drawn into the raging world war in Europe, Edward registered for the military draft in September 1918, at the age of 37. He stated that his occupation was as a blacksmith for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and that wife Carrie was his nearest relative.

When the census was enumerated again in 1920, the Ogles were counted twice, and are listed on two separate pages. Their home was still on County Road, near 14th Street. Edward is listed as working as a blacksmith for the Pennsylvania Railroad, also referred to as the "Steam Road."

The 1930 census shows the Ogles living on an "unnamed township road" near Pitcairn. Edward continued to work as a laborer on the steam railroad. That year, six-year-old granddaughter Dolores Weber resided under their roof. 

Their final address together was at 198 14th Street in Monroeville. Burdened with hardening of the arteries and hypertension, Carrie was stricken by a cerebral hemorrhage and passed away at the age of 73 on April 26, 1956. She was laid to rest at the Crossroads Presbyterian Cemetery in Monroeville, Allegheny County, PA. Her obituary appeared in the Pittsburgh Press.

Edward outlived Carrie by 14 years and remained in Monroeville. When his health began to decline seriously, from the effects of congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive lung disease and hardening of the arteries, he was admitted to the John J. Kane Hospital in Scott Township. He succumbed to the spectre of death at the age of 90 on Dec. 7, 1970. Mrs. Dolores Eichelberger of Monroeville was the informant for the official Pennsylvania certificate of death.

While their grave marker at Crossroads shows his name, there is a blank where the year of his death should be. 

~ Daughter Evelyn M. (Ogle) Weber Tomko ~ 

Daughter Evelyn M. Ogle (1909-1970) was born on Nov. 6, 1909 in Connellsville, Fayette County. 

She first married Leonard Jacob Weber (Feb. 18, 1905-1959), son of Henry William and Sarah Sophia (Evans) Weber of Duquesne near Pittsburgh.  

Together, they became the parents of Bernard Melvin Weber, Dolores M. Miner and Edward Darrel Weber Sr.

Leonard was employed in McKeesport in 1930 as a railroad laborer. The couple divorced in the early 1930s, and Evelyn is known to have dwelled in Meadville, Crawford County as of 1935. About the same time, Leonard had custody of the two elder children, living in Duquesne near Pittsburgh and working as a chipper in a local steel mill.

At the age of 28, in 1938, Evelyn resided in Erie, Erie County, PA, but had no employment. That year, in about March 1938, she married 32-year-old widower Andrew Joseph Tomko (Aug. 22, 1906-1978), a house painter and resident of Elm Street in McKeesport. Born in New York City, Andrew was the son of Czechoslovakian immigrants Joseph and Mary (Urich) Tomko of McKeesport. Their marriage license was secured in Washington County, PA, and justice of the peace John E. Irwin officiated the nuptials in Irwin, Westmoreland County.

Evidence suggests that Andrew brought a stepson into the union, Edward Tomko, born in 1932.

When the federal census enumeration was made in 1940, the Tomkos dwelled in McKeesport, with Andrew employed in a confectionary store and Evelyn working as a restaurant waitress. That same year, he registered for the military draft on the eve of America's entry into World War II. Their address at that time was 2216 Oriole Street but not long after they moved to Fifth Avenue Extension. By October 1940, he secured a job with National Tube Company of McKeesport.

By 1942, the couple migrated to California and dwelled at 925 West 76th Street in Los Angeles. He obtained a position there as an electrician for a Mobil Oil refinery and stayed for 20 years. Their home circa 1950 was on Garden View in South Gate and then 322 East 98th Street, Los Angeles, with Andrew continuing his work as an oil plant electrician, Evelyn working as a seamstress in a furniture factory and daughter Dolores as a stenographer in a retail grocery store.

Evelyn at the age of 61 died following a long illness in Victorville Hospital in San Bernardino County, CA on Oct. 11, 1970. A brief obituary was printed in the Victorville Daily Press. Her survivors included six grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Her mass of Christian burial was held at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, by the hand of Msgr. William F.E. Van Garsse.

Andrew survived as a widower for eight years. Death spirited him away at the age of 72 on March 24, 1978. His funeral mass was sung at Holy Family Catholic Church, led by Rev. Michael O'Day. Obituary in the Daily Press and San Bernardino County Sun said he was survived by his brother Albert and sister Betty Corry of McKeesport and seven nephews and nieces. Their remains lie in eternal repose in Victor Valley Memorial Park.
