Col. Albert Rogall

Formerly the Skilled Instructor in
Art at the O.N.U. Dies After
A Lingering Illness

Albert Rogall was born in Poland,
Russia, May 4, 1824; died Mar. 4,1904.
aged 79 years, 10 months and 15 days.
In early June he made a_profession of
Faith in Christ. He united with the
Presbyterian church of Ada by certificate,
June 4, 1882.

He was married to Miss Anna J.
Mooney, March 27, 1860. To them
were born three child, two of whom,
Thaddeus Rogall and Mrs. Anna Rogall
Root survive to mourn both father
and mother within a brief interval.

The work and worship of the house
of God was always a delight to him
when in health, but for more than two
years he has been confined with ever
increasing infirmities, until but a few
weeks ago the loss of his loved companion
darkened his home and life
and with a bleeding heart he longed
for death. He loved the-sacred Bible,
and greatly admired the fundamental
principles and infallible truths
contained therein.

Col. Rogall was a great reader and
Student. His library was filled with
Works of a scholarly and literary
Character, and he was able at all times
To converse intelligently upon a wide
range of subjects. He is best known
to students and citizens as Prof. Ro-
Gal of the Art Department of the O.N.U.
As a painter he had a high
conception of art, and exceptional skill
in portraying his ideas. Hundreds of
skillful artists of the present day owe
their power to his directing skill.
His paintings all show the life
touch of a master.

Col. Rogall was a patriot. In the
supreme hour of his country’s peril
he rushed to its defense. He was ap-
pointed drill master of the 54th O.V.I
and afterwards was made captain
in the same regiment, receiving
for his valiant services the rank
of Colonel in the 118th Regiment,
U.S. Colored troops. He was in
Active service until mustered out
At the close of the war.

Col. Rogall was an exemplary citizen
and enjoyed in a high degree the
confidence and respect of his friends
and neighbors. He loved the quiet
home life best and was never found in
the enthusiasm of public gatherings.
There was a mysterious dignity, at of
royal birth, surrounding the man and
those who knew him best felt that
There were depths of confidence
un-sounded. No more quaint figure
can be found in our city than was he,
and we shall miss his stately form with
his quick step over the pavement with
his cane. May his artist’s soul be
reveling in the visions that earthly
eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard,
neither hath It entered into the heart
of man to conceive.

The funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon, March 20, at the Presbyterian
church, Rev. J. F. Elder, officiating, who
read in part, the above obituary.
The benediction was pronounced
at Woodlawn vault.
