JAMES H. HOGUE, M.D.,
one of the young and progressive physicians of Altoona, and a graduate of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons, of Baltimore, Maryland, is a son of Joseph
and Sarah Ann (Calwell) Hogue, and was born at Watsontown, Northumberland
County, Pennsylvania, November 5, 1860.  His paternal ancestry is traced back
to Scotland, where nearly two centuries ago a member of the Hogue family
became wearied with the persecution which he suffered from the civil
authorities of that country on account of his dissenting from the established
religion of Great Britain, and in order to enjoy religious freedom came to the
then province of New Jersey.  He was the founder of the Hogue family of
America, from whom Dr. Hogue is descended.  One of his sons graduated from
Princeton College, and afterwards removed to Pennsylvania, where one of his
descendants, Joseph Hogue (father), was born in 1809, in Northumberland
County.  Joseph Hogue was reared and received his education in his native
county, and then engaged in the general mercantile business, which he pursued
for many years in Northumberland, Snyder, Montour and other counties.  He was
a whig and republican in politics, served as a postmaster for over thirty
years, under the administration of both whigs and democrats, and died in
1868, aged fifty-nine years.  He married Sarah Ann Calwell, who died in 1863,
aged thirty-eight years.  They had six children of whom four sons are living
and two daughters died when young.  The sons are:  Daniel C., who served in
the late war successively as a member of the 131st Pennsylvania infantry for
nine months, the 28th regiment of emergency men for thirty days, and the 202d
Pennsylvania infantry until the close of the war, and then returned to
Watsontown, Northumberland county, where after being engaged for some time in
the manufacturer of nails, he embarked in his present lumber business;  Dr.
Davis A. (see his sketch in this volume); Edmund B., a conductor on the
Wilkesbarre & Western railroad; and Dr. James H.
   James H. Hogue was reared at Watsontown, where he received his education in
the High school of that place.  Leaving school, he commenced the study of
medicine with his brother, Dr. Davis A. Hogue, of Watsontown, and after
twelve months' reading became a student in the West Penn hospital of
Pittsburg, where he remained for two years.  During the time that he was
studying in the hospital, he was also attending lectures at the College of
Physicians and Surgeons of Baltimore, Maryland, from which institution he was
graduated in the class of 1885.  After graduation he opened an office for the
practice of his profession at Du Bois, Clearfield county, where he remained
but three months, and then went to Coalport, in the same county, at which
place he practiced for two years.  He then (1887) came to Altoona and formed
a partnership with Dr. John Feltwell, which continued until May, 1891, since
which time Doctor Hogue has been in partnership with no one.  He is a general
practitioner, but makes a specialty of diseases of women.  His close study of
the different complicated diseases that came under his observation in the Wet
Penn hospital has been of great value to him in his successful treatment of
many obstinate and chronic case that had baffled the skill of the ordinary
physician.  He gives his time to the profession, and has a good practice.  He
is a republican in politics, and a member of Coalport Lodge, No. 481,
Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Blair County Medical society; and the
Pennsylvania State Medical society.
   On October 18, 1888, Doctor Hogue was united in marriage with Rose, daughter
of George McDowell, a land owner of Clinton County, Pennsylvania, who resided
upon one of his three large farms, which he kept constantly rented.  To Dr. and
Mrs. Hogue has been born one child, a son, Herbert McDowell.
