Roy Ogle
1919-
Roy Ogle, the second son of James and Elizabeth Ogle , was born at Wood Mountain. He attended the Wood Mountain country school.
As a youth he began working on the Ogle family ranch with his family. He learned to ride and rope at an early age and helped with most work around the ranch. His father owned a large herd of horses and often Roy and his brother Bob, along with other young Wood Mountain cowboys, would spend a Sunday afternoon breaking broncs. Roy often helped herd the horses to other rodeos where they were used for bucking stock.
Roy, however, was more interested in roping than in riding broncs. Beginning about 1945 he won a share of the calf roping money every year at the Wood Mountain rodeo for ten years.
After living on the ranch many years Roy Ogle retired. He and his wife Verna presently live in Medicine Hat, Alberta. They raised a family of six children. |
