Introduction

Roy Roger Pogue May 21, 1933 - April 22, 2010 Roy Roger Pogue passed away at the Amery Regional Medical Center on April 22, 2010. Roy was born on May 21, 1933 to Everett and Beulah (Roberts) Pogue at home on a farm they called the “Rock Garden” in Columbia County, WI. He started school a short distance from the farm. Since his dad was a farmer that rented, they moved on March 1st for several years. They moved from an area called “Pumpkin Hollow”, near the airport in Madison to Rio, WI and then to Marshall, WI. The family then moved back to Rio and eventually made their home back in Marshall. Roy graduated from high school in Marshall in 1951. His folks then bought a farm near Pardeeville, WI where his twin sisters graduated in 1956. Roy helped his dad farm and worked as a mechanic at the Oliver Dealer (Tunnison’s) in Pardeeville. Roy owned a flock of registered Hampshire Sheep. They also had cows and pigs, and the farm was sold on April 5, 1962. After graduation, Roy’s sister Irene went to the Madison General Hospital School of Nursing, where she met fellow student Ruth Shaben. Irene introduced Roy and Ruth who were then married on December 8, 1957 in Lancaster, Wisconsin. To this union 8 children were born. Roy worked at Tunnison’s until 1962 when he took a job at Brooks in Sun Prairie, WI where he worked as a mechanic on industrial equipment. In 1965 he took a job selling and repairing farm equipment in Hustisford,WI. They lived in Pardeeville until 1967 when they moved to Cambridge, WI so Roy could become a Moorman Feed salesman. He worked there until 1979. Roy then moved his family to a farm in Fall River, WI where they raised pigs and goats. In 1987 the family moved to a dairy farm by Clear Lake, WI. He lived there assisting his sons farming until November 2007. A house fire then forced Roy and Ruth to move to Evergreen Village in Amery.
