Obituary for Clara A. M. Bennett - Douglas's wife. 
Have found a document in the Missouri Heritage files for Missouri State Archives, birth and death records database - record C18303 - giving the name of Clara as Clara B. Bennett.  But it also shows Douglas as being a painter - he was a printer.  The occasion was the birth of her 2nd child as a male on Apr 28, 1884 in Joplin, MO.
 

Township Unrecognizable

Father: Jehu Ogle:
Douglas Ogle
DOB: Mar 16, 1858 DeKalb Co., MO
DOD: Jun 11, 1928,  Pawnee, OK

Douglas was buried in a potters grave - we're not sure why, but in a time when thirty five cents an hour was a good wage, the burial cost $41.00 - it would take 117 hours of work to pay for it.

Signed J L? Lehew 6/12/1928

Pawnee Oklahoma.
Buried in Highland Cemetery

Douglas printed newspaper at Maysville 1882/1884 "Republican".

1888 "Goodspeed History" Andrew and DeKalb Counties.

1910 Census shows Douglas Lila, Rolla at Bridgeport, OK.

Notes found in binder for Douglas from Delores Nickerson (Sis):

(Ogle, Douglas: 1902-3 pub. (Orlando Herald).  Forman. Okla. Imprints (1836-1907, 382[I don't know what this note means, they stand alone in the binder - Ed Ogle]).
 

(MO. The household effects of the editor of the "Weatherby Magnet", as well as his office, were destroyed by fire Christmas night, 1893. Editor Ogle was in town Tuesday and informs us he will start his paper again about Jan, 17, 1894.  [This article sent to me by cousin Charlie N. Ellis, Feb. 22, 1986 - it was found in Rosanna Ogle Ellis's Bible.])  [The family tradition has it that those that "helped" Douglas "save" his paper type "helped" to the extent he never found all of the type, which leads me to surmise someone didn't like him too much. (His great granddaughter - initials BDN)].

Extracts from the Bridgeport Newspapers on microfilm at the historical Society bldg, Oklahoma City, Okla.:  I have placed each note in parans().

(Bridgport Grit, Caddo County, Oklahoma; January 7, 1910:
Bread, Pies and Cakes on hand at all times at the restaurant. D. Ogle).

(Bridgport Grit, Caddo County, Oklahoma; July 22, 1910.  --  D Ogle moved his restaurant from the old bank building into the Keithly Building just north of the brick block, Monday and in addition to being more centrally located, can now provide beds for their customers when desired.)

( Bridgeport Enterprise, Bridgeport, Oklahoma; January 16, 1919.  (on the front page) We are informed with the contract for toll bridge keeper has been given to Mrs. Ogle, widow of the former keeper.  We are glad to know she has been given this contract as she deserves to continue the work.  [I am somewhat puzzled by this entry - I was not aware Douglas remarried after Clara died.  Could it be this is a different Ogle?]
These two may be brothers of Douglas.

This data found at http://digital.library.okstate.edu/Chronicles/v024/v024p219.pdf mentions Ogle.
