Herbert W. Vogel, aged 34 years, and 25 days, publisher of the Marked Tree Tribune dies suddenly in Marked Tree from heart attack last Thursday afternoon, Aug.30,1931. Mr. Vogel had just completed the day's work, and had gone for the mail. He dropped dead in the corridors of the Post Office. Mrs. Vogel had left him at the office a few minutes earlier, and states that he had been in a cheerful mood during the day but had an unusually hard day of work, it being press day. Mr. Vogel had returned only a few weeks ago from the hospital at Legion, Texas, where he underwent treatment, not having been in the best of physical condition for sometime, but no one believed he was so near the end. The remains were brought to Forrest City and funeral services were held here Friday afternoon, from the residence of his brother in law, Jeff Downey, with interment in the Forrest City cemetery. He was given a military funeral, with pall bearers: Chas. Gray, W.A. Briening, C.C.Perry, Ed Franks, Lee B. Horton, W.A. Culley of the local post of the American Legion. Services were conducted by Rev. Lester Weaver of the First Methodist church of Marked Tree, assisted by Rev. E. Rawlings of this city. He is survived by his widow and two children, Herbert W. Jr. and Willa Mae; four sisters, Mrs. Walter Reaves, Mrs. Albert Jones, Mrs. Willaim Copleland, and Miss Louise Vogel of Memphis, and one brother, Charles of Cleveland, Miss. Mr. Vogel was a native of Forrest City, and spent the greater part of his life in the employ of The Forrest City Times and Times-Herald, being foreman of the composing room from April 1919 to December 1930, when he resigned to take the Marked Tree Tribune the first of January. Deceased was a veteran of the World War, enlisting immediately following this country's entry into the war. He was a man of many admirable traits of character, among which were loyalty to country, family, and friends; strict integrity and truthfulness.
