Ogle Odell Cogburn was born January 3, 1918 on a farm in Denton County Texas. He departed this life at his home in Walsh, Colorado on March 6, 2017 at the age of 99 years and two months.

Ogle was the 4th child of William Ernest and Laura Valiera Cogburn. He came to Colorado with his family in 1921. He was 3 years old at the time. He attended school at the Drew school in West Wentworth, then the Stonington School, and finished his education at Walsh High School, where he graduated in 1935.

After high school, Ogle worked for a year at the Climax Molybdenum mine on Fremont Pass, near Leadville, Colorado. He was laid off with many others, due to the volatile nature of the mining industry. He returned home and worked for his brother Chesla, until he joined the army on March 15th, 1942. He received a medical discharge on June 7th, 1943.

After military service, Ogle once again returned home to work on the farm with his brother Chesla. In 1946 Ogle bought his first airplane, a 65 horsepower Aeronica Champ. This was the beginning of long and colorful career in aviation, an occupation he dearly loved.

Ogle married Rose Marilyn Baker (Porter) on September 19, 1954. This union was blessed with 4 children, Marsha Ann, Stephen Douglas, Mary Denise, and Marla Jo. Ogle loved his family, and was an excellent provider.
