Caroline Edna Gorman (1921-2004) grew up in Houston, Texas. She married Leon D. Vogel and became an active participant in many social clubs, including parent-teacher associations and the Rambling Garden Club. In her later years, she moved to LaGrange with her husband.
Scope and Contents
Comprising yearbooks and directories, ephemera, abstracts of title, scrapbooks, correspondence, and photographs, the Caroline Vogel Papers, [ca. 1880s]-1989, document the life and activities of Caroline Vogel in Houston, Texas, as well as the business of her husband Leon D. Vogel and their family history. Yearbooks and directories, ephemera, and scrapbooks relate to Caroline's many social activities, including her membership in the Rambling Garden Club, several parent-teacher associations, and the First Evangelical Lutheran Church. Abstracts of title and lot surveys, primarily for properties in Harris County, concern Leon's development of residential real estate in suburban Houston. Photographs depict Vogel family members and friends, while miscellaneous documents, such as a report card, pertain to Edward Vogel. Untranslated letters in German from the 1880s to early 1900s likely chronicle Vogel or Gorman family history.
