OGG, B.F. AND CAMA (PONTON) by Mrs. Ford Waring

Benjamin Franklin Ogg was born in Summerfield, Noble County, Ohio April 1 7,
1865. He came with his parents to Kansas in 1869. He had measles when the y
crossed the Mississippi and a black mama sang a song to him and kept him
wrapped in a blanket. He used to sing that song when he told the grandchi ldren
stories of his early days. His parents had signed for land which now is M innesota
Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas. Upon arriving in Kansas, they found that a rea
occupied. They then went southwest and settled on a farm close to Douglas s,
Kansas. Later they moved to Douglass and had a hotel there. As a young bo y he
had several tasks, such as taking care of the commodes in each room and
driving the hack (wagon) to pick up people at the railway station. They h ad lots of
drummers (salesmen) stay at the hotel.

Cama Ora Ann Ponton was born November 9, 1871 in Greensboro, Gilford
County, North Carolina. She came with her parents and grandmother to Kans as,
arriving in Wichita on her third birthday. They settled on a farm near Ro se Hill,
later moving to Douglass. B.F. and Cama were married in Douglass on Febru ary
8, 1887. They went west in a covered wagon to an area close to Johnson,
Kansas and took a claim, building a sod house. They were one of few tha t had
glass windows in their soddie. Cama returned to Douglass when she was
pregnant. B.F. stayed to prove the claim. They lived in Douglass area fo r awhile,
where three of their children were born. They were: Hazel Annetta, born
December 4, 1887, passed away August 2, 1889; Floyd Liman, born August 22 ,
1889; and Otis Talmage, born January 22, 1892.

They moved to Oklahoma for awhile, raising Texas longhorns in the Guthrie
area. Later, they owned a meat market in Chandler, Oklahoma. Four more
children were born: Courtney Stamp, born June 30, 1894; Beulah Beatrice , born
July 3, 1897; Cecil Rodolph, born November 17, 1900; and Lawrence Jesse,
born June 15, 1906.

In 1908, B.F. went by train to Baldwin, Kansas, planning to move his fami ly there
and send the children to Baker University. B.F.'s sister had gone to Bake r. He
had a two hoot wait in Ottawa, both going and coming. He found Baldwin to o
small for his large family and he liked what he saw in Ottawa. In Augus t 1908,
B.F. and sons Floyd, Otis, and Courtney came by covered wagon with five
horses to Ottawa. It took them two weeks. Cama and the other children wen t by
train to Douglass until they were settled. They rented a house on the eas t side of
Main between Eighth and Ninth Streets. It was one of the houses destroyed
years later when a gasoline truck turned over and five houses were burned . They
bought house on West Second between Willow and Maple. Their last child wa s
born there. She is Dorothy Elizabeth, born May 25, 1914, and writing thi s report.
B.F. started the Ogg's Cash & Carry Store shortly after arriving in O ttawa. It was
across from the Court House at 330 South Main, where Pizza Village is tod ay.
As the boys and my sister got old enough they started working in the stor e.
Some of them attended Ottawa University. Around 1940 B.F. celebrated 50
years in the meat business. While living on West Second, there were seven
floods in one year. Water got into the house several times. One time the y went
out the upstairs window into a boat. B.F. found a house out of flood are a at 1034
West Seventh and bought it with five acres of ground. They moved there Ap ril
17, 1916. In 1922 they moved the house on the east corner of the propert y and
built a new one on the site. The boys Floyd, Courtney, Cecil, and Lawrenc e all
married and lived in Ottawa and worked in the store. Otis married an Otta wa girl
but became a salesman with Swift's Packing and lived in Topeka. Beulah
married Ferguson Shuey. He worked in the store and at the Gas Service
Company. Dorothy married Ford Waring and moved around till retiring in Ot tawa.
In about 1935 Courtney and his two boys went into a store at Sixth and Ma ple.
B.F. turned the downtown store over to Floyd, Cecil, and Lawrence. Upon
retiring, B.F. bought a farm seven and a half miles south, where he fatte ned
Hereford calves. In around 1946, because of Floyd's ill health, they clos ed the
store. Cecil continued in the meat business with A&P. Lawrence went i nto the
cement business with his wife's brother. It is now Penny Cement.

All the family but Otis is buried in Highland Cemetery. Cama passed awa y in
1947, BF in 1956, Cecil in 1980, Floyd in 19 81, Beulah in 1986, Courtney in
1984, and Lawrence in 1988. All were active in church and community servi ce.
